Hi,
EAttributes are just straight java class instances, such as String,
Integer, or some other class. These can't be "foreign" because foreign
refers to EMF EObjects in another EObject/Resource. Only EObjects have
the ability to be foreign and referenced.

Hi Ed,
Daniel and me intended to kind of eliminate remote references from a
transformation engine's perspective in order to perform transformations
on local models only while being embedded in a larger context.
However, we have found a proper way of dealing with this without the
need of introducing additional abnormal behavior to EMF models, as this
is rather a concern of the transformation engine than of EMF.
Thanks for your help anyway.
