Added conformance clauses (written by Patrick Durusau)

5 Conformance

The ICOM specification does not presume a particular software architecture
or arrangement for use of the ICOM model.

Conformance to the ICOM model is defined by the roles played in any
software architecture or arrangement; however a particular implementation
chooses to allocate these roles and accompanying responsibilities.
Conformance to the ICOM model is defined as:

1. Service provider role: An ICOM service provider shall conform to all
mandatory and optional statements of the core ICOM model as defined in
Section 3 of this standard.

2. Service provider role: An ICOM service provider shall conform to all
mandatory and optional statements for one or more extension models as
defined in Section 4 of this standard, but no application fulfilling the
service provider role is required to conform to any particular extension
model. 

Note: Implementations may choose one or more extension modules to support
in an ICOM application.

3. ICOM producer role: An ICOM producer, which is an application that
produces artifacts to be managed by an ICOM service provider, shall produce
artifacts that conform to both mandatory and optional statements in Section
3 and 4 of this standard, for any artifact produced.

Note: Implementations in the ICOM producer role are not required to produce
any particular ICOM artifacts, but any which are produced to be managed by
an ICOM service provider, must conform to this standard. 

4. ICOM consumer role: An ICOM consumer, which is an application that
consumes artifacts managed by an ICOM service provider, shall accept ICOM
artifacts that conform to both mandatory and optional statement in Section
3 and 4 of this standard.
