XLink and ValidationNot only is an XLink "aware" processor not required to
validate the target of a link, the value of the href need not actually
'point' to anything.

Hi,
I checked the XLink standard on this but could not locate an answer: can you
please tell me if an XLink-aware processor is required to validate simple
links in order to conform with the XLink standard? For example suppose the
following element exists in an instance document:
<InvoiceCustomer xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="#A157"/>
If there were no element in the instance document with an ID-type attribute
whose value is "A157", is an XLink-aware processor required to throw an
error?
Thank you in advance,
Joe Chiusano
