I think it would be ok to push the burden for this onto grammar
developers --- no need for the processor to guess.  In this case STEM
should be linked, the rule and a couple of others are poorly written
and will be fixed.  Perhaps a friendly warning if this case is seen
when compiling the grammar could help us avoid the issue in the
future?
