[Bug 5070] Requirement for validator to implement deref()

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=5070

I'm not sure what this would mean.

An SML processor/validator takes an SML model as input, and produce results
about its validity and apply schema/schematron rules. What does it mean for it
to provide a deref() implementation? That can be used outside of the context of
SML validation?

Note that this is an XPath function. Are we imagining that some XPath
processing is performed after the model is validated, and the XPath engine can
use the validator's deref() implementation when evaluating XPaths?
