Well, whatever you think, it is normative text. And it does not say
anything about error.

That's not a normative conformance criteria, it's a statement of fact. It
is indeed true, because, as Bjoern pointed out, the element is invalid and
thus ignored. But that doesn't mean it's not invalid -- that statement is
in fact empty (from a spec point of view) and could be removed without
changing either the meaning of the specification or the conformance of any
implementation or document.
