Re: [docbook] Footnotref linkend validation

Hi,

I edited the rules and this resolved the error.

Line 8557
            <s:assert test="local-name(//*[@xml:id=current()/@linkend]) 
= 'footnote' and namespace-uri(//*[@xml:id=current()/@linkend]) = 
'http://docbook.org/ns/docbook'">@linkend on footnoteref must point to a 
footnote.</s:assert>

I notice that a number of tests use the same @id= construct, so the bug 
would appear to be impacting these elements as well:

firstterm
glosssee
glossseealso
glossterm
synopfragmentref

Thanks,
Pete
