Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm always frustrated when specs use data-cite="html#whatever" or other specs in WebRef.
Describe the solution you'd like
For there to be a linter that tells Editors not to do that, and how to fix it. Including WARNING when a term is already exported, and ERRORing when the term is not exported.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Manually fixing all the specs in the world by hand. This didn't scale.

Research direction
