Hmmm... that sounds to me a bit like a use/mention confusion.  I would say the 
outermost document construct contains provenance statements that are *not 
mentioned in the current document* as part of a bundle.   But the same 
statements may yet be part of a bundle defined elsewhere.

Maybe this is what you meant, but it's not what your wording here implies (to me).

BTW, I assume that the recent clarification of the namespace scoping means the 
proffered example is OK.
