Description

Parsing following state fails:

<state id="parent" initial="child">
<state id="child"/>
</state>

using <initial> works:

<state id="parent>
<initial>
<transition target="child"/>
</initial>
<state id="child"/>
</state>

I belive it is because when digester hits the parent state it does not know how to resolve IDREF to child, because it was not parsed yet. SCXML solve this by invoking #setInitialstate(String) on Rule#begin() and #setInitialTarget(TransitionTarget) later.
