A matter of opinion and/or taste.  People do routinely work with invalid
XML documents, which is the whole reason for introducing xml:id;
xml:id processing errors reintroduce a little bit of validity, which is
why processors SHOULD report them for those who care.  But there is
no MUSTard about what XML applications do with such errors.
