[XHTML 2] 24.2 Referenced objects not yet defined

Dear HTML Working Group,

24.2 states
|A declared object element must appear in a document before the first time 
the object data is |referenced. For example, the declaring object element 
must appear before a link referencing the |object data.

Please add information on what a user agent should do in the situation where 
the document does reference an element that is not yet appeared in the 
document.

Does the same thing happen if the object is removed via DOM methods after 
the initial rendering?

Regards,

Jim Ley
