Consistency between /Parent and /Kids for Page Tree Node and Page Object not checked

Dev Effort

Description

Each page object dictionary must include a key value pair /Parent with an indirect reference to the page tree node which is the direct parent of itself. As the parent page tree node includes a reference to each page via the /Kids key value entry, a consistency check is possible but does not seem to currently take place. Test case T02-03_004 of the ipres test corpus points to the wrong object as its parent. Correct parent obj 1 has been replaced with obj 3. As a result the object is rendered incorrectly (missing content), but JHOVE considers it to be well-formed and valid.

Hi @asciim0 I'm not addressing this for v1.20 as I'm a little uneasy about the knock on effects of introducing this consistency check without more time to test. My thoughts are that most documents have multiple pages so this would be a new check that's likely to see a lot of use and discretion is the better part of valour. Will fix early for the next development cycle.
