Re: POI XML validator for testing

1) Yes POITermTypes must have a term property according to the data model. if we make term an optional property, we weaken the likelihood that it will be used, but I see your point.
2) Yes the validator should do this. My laziness (or eagerness to get a version out) is at fault here. Should be fixed now.
3) We said we require URIs for IDs. I still think this is good policy. I do however think #StataCenter should be legal if a base URI can be identified (but the validator doesn't make any attempt to do this right now).
4) If above #3 is true, then target POI can refer to a fragment. Good treatment of the topic in the draft spec will help.
