You can make it complain during the finalization check for the object.
That's EASY to code up.

Well, this is a harder problem..  Yes, it does not resave xml entities
that it doesn't know about.  The issue here is that we don't save the
XML.  KVPs were supposed to solve this, but of course that presupposes
we actually save/load the KVP data.
