It is the proper usage of the pointer. While the Gene, Where in the GEDCOM standard does it state that @Sub1@ is a pointer to the submitter's name? It doesn't. The rules for a cross reference id: "The cross-reference ID has a maximum of 22 characters, including the enclosing at signs (@), and it must be unique within the GEDCOM transmission." and "xref_id := [pointer ]" and "pointer := [(0x40) + alphanum + pointer_string + (0x40) ]" where: (0x40)=@ that being said, @Sub1@ can point to anything. Genbox user @Sm1@ to point to submitter name.
