Conformance clause proposal

["Rodolfo M. Raya" <rmraya@maxprograms.com>]

Hi All,

Please find below a first draft of a conformance clause that we can use to
start the discussion.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----
An XLIFF document is said to be conformant with this specification if:

1) It is a well formed document according to the specifications of
Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0, defined at http://www.w3.org/TR/xml/

2) It is a valid document according to the grammar rules defined in the XML
schemas that are part of this specification.

An XLIFF document that includes custom extensions using the XML namespace
mechanism  described in section XXX of this specification, will be
considered conformant if, in additions to the constraints 1) and 2) defined
above, the following requirements are met:

a) The custom XML schemas required to validate the document are publicly
available.

b) The document is valid according to the grammar rules defined by the XML
schemas included in this specification and the schemas that define the
custom namespaces used in the file.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Best regards,
Rodolfo
