I thought of this, but I'm not sure if the semantic of the <idno>
element also covers something like phone/fax numbers.

Wouldn't this mean, that the telephone or fax number is both the object
and it's identifier and thus would recursively identify itself whereas
according to the definition above you would need an external object
(material or immaterial) to which the identifier refers to?
