Research direction

Start by tracing XtextDocument.modify() and how it invokes IChangeSerializer#setUpdateCrossReferences(). Determine how callers can supply the cross-reference update flag, then verify that the selected setting reaches the serializer and add or update coverage for both flag values if existing tests are found.
