Fw: [sca-c-cpp] NEW ISSUE: Define C Conformance Targets

[Bryan Aupperle <aupperle@us.ibm.com>]

Based on discussion in the Bindings
TC, this issue can be combined with the corresponding one for C++ (i.e.
the targets will probably be the same for both C and C++) so the title
for the single issue should be: Define Conformance Targets.

Subject	[sca-c-cpp] NEW ISSUE: Define C Conformance Targets

TARGET: C C&I Spec

DESCRIPTION: In order to write a normative statement or conformance clause
using RFC2119 language, the target or subject of the rule needs to be included.
Some of these are obvious, as we have rules governing components, composites,
services, references etc. Other targets are less so, especially when it
comes to conformance, as we need to identify artefacts that vendors can
claim they handle according to the rules of the spec. We should enumerate
a list of conformance targets early on, so that every time we use a MUST,
MAY, or SHOULD, we know to what the rule applies to.

PROPOSAL: none
