Every nonempty link:footnote element must be linked to at least one fact.

A nonempty link:footnote element must have an xlink:label attribute equal to an xlink:to attribute of a sibling link:footnoteArc.

Footnotes with text must not "dangle". By contrast, a link:loc element that is not connected by a link:footnoteArc is legal syntax.

REMARK: It would have been better instead of referring to "link:footnote element" to refer to "link:footnoteLink child element with @xlink:type of 'resource'". Likewise instead of "link:footnoteArc element" refer to "link:footnoteLink child element with @xlink:type of 'arc'". Then you will never get spurious errors if element substitutionGroups were to be allowed.
