Pointing to stuff that's not there

Suppose we have global rules such as 

<its:rules its:version="1.0">
		<its:translateRule selector="//msg/notes" translate="no"/>
		<its:locNoteRule locNoteType="description" selector="//msg/data" 
			locNotePointer="../notes"/>
		</its:rules>


And that the content looks like this:

<msg id="FileNotFound">
		<notes>Indicates that the resource file {0} could not be loaded.</notes>
		<data>Cannot find the file {0}.</data>
		</msg>
	<msg id="DivByZero">
		<data>Invalid parameter.</data>
		</msg>

There is no notes field in the second msg element.  Do we say somewhere in the spec what is supposed to happen in this case (since there *is* an element that matches the selector attribute)?
