Re: [sca-bindings] Letter to OpenCSA TCs on conformance and dependancies

[Anish Karmarkar <Anish.Karmarkar@oracle.com>]

Suggested response to the liaison subcommittee:

Conformance to the SCA bindings (all three) specification requires 
conformance to the SCA Assembly and SCA Policy specifications.

I would also suggest adding these dependencies in the Conformance 
section of each spec.

Comments?
