Please excuse me, my schema expertise is not as good as yours, so I 
attempt to sketch some examples.

What I want is to say, for example:
<AstroCoordSystem
	ID="FK5-UTC-TOPO"
	xlink:href="ivo://stc.ivoa.net/FK5-UTC-TOPO">
so that any of the VO registries can tell me where to find the precise 
definition of this coordinate system, should that be required.

Another example would be for observatory location. I would want to say:
<ObservatoryLocation
	ID="Palomar"
	xlink:href="ivo://nvo.caltech.edu/observatories/Palomar">

Is this what you envision?
