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?
