Dear Luigi,
thanks for the link. I tried the validation with a little simplified example,
which I show below. VeraPDF reports some errors, see attached
`test-result.xml`. Unfortunately, VeraPDF cannot handle my production document
and crashes during validation :( (see attached `production-result.xml`). Also,
it seems that leaving out `intent` does not make any difference.
Cheers, Henri
