Well, from http://www.w3.org/mid/87oe5valhu.fsf@nwalsh.com I understand
that whenever some element violates XLink 1.1 conformance requirements
that implementations must behave as if there is no XLink markup relevant
to the element; could you give a non-compliant fragment where this would
not apply, i.e., where error handling is not defined? I am not sure yet
what to make of these responses, but at the moment they seem rather in-
consistent to me.
