I was hoping that the processor would see 2.0, know it was a 1.0
processor, and stop, right there, or at least give a warning.

For this particular case it would only process the first token
from the idrefs list, as it does today.

If the WG are going to wrap us in so much cotton wool, I wouldn't be
best pleased.

A warning (this particular case) would be the softest I would appreciate,
it would at least let me know that something is awry.

I still like the first solution, just a bit of logical extension.
