I'm referring to the section 2.5.1 in the link here, 
https://static.open-scap.org/openscap-1.2/oscap_user_manual.html

It says, " Each XCCDF Rule can have xccdf:ident elements inside. These elements 
allow the content creator to reference various external identifiers like CVE, 
CCE, CPE and others."

But I don't see CVE under any of the rules.

This may be a misunderstanding in terminology. Each rule has a CCE - not a CVE. 
You can write rules to detect packages with known CVE's, but that is not your 
typical XCCDF.

I think you mean CCE. What content are you running?
