Re: templateRef & dictionaries

The Target and Sender fields will use a separate dictionary from the MDReqID field.
The "current template" changes as you follow a template reference. This is described in the second paragraph of section 6.4 in the specification: "A static reference specifies that processing should continue with the referred template as the current template."
BTW, the name of the attribute is just dictionary as in dictionary="template". Another tip: it is possible to inherit the dictionary attribute from an ancestor element as in:
<template name="MessageHeader" dictionary="template">
<string name="Sender"> <copy /> </string>
<string name="Target"> <copy /> </string>
<string name="MsgType"> <copy dictionary="message" /> </string>
....
</template>
Best regards,
David
