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

Comment accepted!  However, the context in which the normative statement is
made (section 4.1.2.4) provides a misleading context (IMHO). 4.2.1.4 states:
Each model validator MUST provide an implementation of the deref() XPath
extension function that is capable of resolving references expressed in the
model validator's chosen scheme(s). To be sure, this section gives the
semantics of the deref() function, but NOT the reason why a model validator has
to implement it.  I would recommend that the requirement on the model validator
in this regard should be moved to section 4.4 and its rationale augmented to
include the text of comment #1.
