Note

These guidelines provide no semantic basis or suggested precedence when both @script and @scriptRef or when both @scribe and @scribeRef are provided. For this reason simultaneous use of either pair of attributes is not recommended for interchange unless documentation explaining the use is provided, probably in an ODD customization.
