F.2 says clearly that:
| When an element has an attribute or property value
| which is not permissible according to this specification

And xlink:href on rect is not permissable according to the specification,
Antoine provided the link.

I assume you're asserting the intentionally based on some other sources?  as
it could of course be an oversight, they're quite common in specifications,
and by my reading none of your cases are actually that undefined, the xlink
attribute is dealt with by the quote above, the other two examples are
equivalent, and as I say G2 deals with those.
