-----------------------------------------------------

 

OLD TEXT:

 

Conforming test assertions shall be instances valid according to the schema accompanying this

specification with the namespace as defined under 'Declared XML Namespace(s)' in the heading area of

this specification. This schema is copied in-line in section 3 but in the case of any discrepancies between

the in-line copy and the schema accompanying this specification it is the separate schema which shall be

used as the authoritative definition of the validating schema. In addition to this the conforming test

assertions shall conform to mandatory normative statements (those using the keyword shall) within the

applicable, implemented normative sections of this specification.

 

A conforming implementation shall implement Section 2.3 (test assertions) of this specification.

 

A conforming implementation may implement Section 2.4 (test assertion sets), 2.5 (test assertion

references) and 2.6 (reserved tag names) of this specification.

 

A conforming test assertion implementation implementing Section 2.4 (test assertion sets) may choose

not to implement the nesting of test assertion sets inside other test assertion sets.

 

PROPOSED TEXT:

 

Implementations of this specification that may claim conformance according to this conformance clause are: (1) instances of test assertion, (2) instances of test assertion set.

 

A conforming test assertion instance shall fulfill all mandatory normative statements in Sections 2.3 (test assertions) and 2.6 (reserved tag names) of this specification, and be valid according to the schema accompanying this specification with the namespace as defined under 'Declared XML Namespace(s)' in the heading area of this specification.

 

A conforming test assertion set instance shall fulfill all mandatory normative statements in Sections 2.4 (test assertions set) 2.5 (test assertion references) and 2.6 (reserved tag names) of this specification, be valid according to the schema accompanying this specification with the namespace as defined under 'Declared XML Namespace(s)' in the heading area of this specification, and contain only conforming test assertions instances.

 

This schema is copied in-line in section 3 but in the case of any discrepancies between the in-line copy and the schema accompanying this specification it is the separate schema which shall be used as the authoritative definition of the validating schema.
