</p>

<p>
Specification authors that write algorithms that fetch a resource based on the
`id` of an object inside a [=conforming document=] need to consider whether
that resource's content is vital to the validity of that document. If it is, the
specification MUST produce a validation error unless the resource matches the
expected media type and cryptographic digest.
A [=conforming verifier implementation=] that makes use of a resource based on
the `id` of a `relatedResource` object inside a [=conforming document=] with a
corresponding cryptographic digest appearing in a `relatedResource` object value
MUST compute the digest of the retrieved resource. If the digest provided by the
[=issuer=] does not match the digest computed for the retrieved resource, the
[=conforming verifier implementation=] MUST produce an error.

Implementers are urged to consult appropriate sources, such as the
