eml-spatialReference

[Chad Berkley]

Chris has also expressed much of your sentiment.  I am not partial in
one way or the other, since if you want to have one attribute, you could
just have one attributeList with one attribute.  I will change
eml-attribute to be a choice of (content  | references) where content is
of AttributeListType.
