links with query strings shown as errors

[GoogleCodeExporter]

PROBLEM:

Using 3.0b5 on epub3. If a link within a .xhtml file includes a query string as 
part of the url, e.g <a href="a.xhtml?x=y">... </a> then an error is shown in 
validation that the "referenced resource missing in the package" when the 
actual target of the link (a.xhtml) does exist and is properly included in the 
manifest. The epub3 spec. says nothing about not using query strings.

METHOD:

1. include a link of the form <a href="a.xhtml?x=y">... </a> in an xhtml 
document within the package.
2. run the validator on the epub file.

RESULT:

The target of the link is shown as an error with the message "referenced 
resource missing in the package".

EXPECTED:

According to the spec. this should be valid within an xhtml document inside an 
epub.

PLATFORM:

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

ADDITIONAL INFO:

Please provide any additional information below.
