The following table fragment:

 

    ….

    ….

    <entry><link ns1:href=""http://www.foo.org/" "><important><para>foo</para></important></entry>

    ….

    ….

 

will not validate while

 

    ….

    ….

    <entry><link ns1:href=""http://www.foo.org" "/></entry>

    ….

    ….

 

or

 

    ….

    ….

    <entry><important><para>foo</para></important></entry>

    ….

    ….

 

will validate

 

Is this by design or an oversight?
