Such as statement already exists, and is present in the UAIG 1.0 REC. 
It is in the "Author Errors" section.  Quoting from the REC [1]:

" User agents are not responsible for logical validation, such as the
following:
...
5. Determining whether aria-activedescendant actually points to a
descendant or another owned element.
"

Is this sufficient?
