ejb-ref is to reference a bean inside the ejb jar (possibly using a
ejb-link)
Ejb-external-ref is to reference a bean outside the ejb-jar

To be 100% right I should say between ear because it is possible to
ejb-link to a ejb in another ejb jar of the same ear.

That is to pass the DTD validation that checks the order of where there
are set.
