The answer is probably "however your application wants to", but just in
case:

If I have a representation coming back to me for a POST or PUT:

<book>
  <title>Higher-Order Perl</title>
  <publishedOn>2005-02-14</publishedOn>
  <author link="/author/1234" />
  <publisher link="/publisher/4321" />
</book>

What's the best way of verifying that the 'author' and 'publisher' links
refer to existing resources? (Assumption is that they're all on my site,
but I think the conclusion should hold if they're fully-qualified URIs.)
Should I dispatch the links through my Restlet container and see if they
come back with a 200 or a 404 status?
