Warning is a warning. It's for your knowledge.

For some cases patch object could work, for some couldn't. Since it is not
easy to decide it at parsing time, you are warned about possible problem.
Perhaps could be better formulated. Warnings are supposed to be informative
but short.

"6.5.6.4 Difference" chapter: "The component objects must have well defined
inside/outside properties. Patch objects are not allowed."
