Subject: [chairs] draft OASIS Conformance Requirements document

The OASIS Conformance TC has published a 
new working draft of its Conformance Requirements for Specifications document. 
The Conformance Requirements provides guidance on how to specify conformance in 
specifications. We believe that a consistent and comprehensive approach to 
conformance throughout all OASIS specifications will lead to better 
specifications and higher quality implementations. Because of its nature, this 
document will impact all TCs that develop specifications. Thus, we would like 
your help in reviewing this document and providing us with comments, suggestions 
and examples. 

The document includes general requirements and definitions 
concerning conformance and related issues. Wherever possible, examples are 
given. It would be great to have examples from your TC. The goal is to help 
those writing specifications, by providing guidance and examples. Our objective 
is to provide assistance not an additional burden. 

Please feel free to 
circulate the attached document or the pdf version at 
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/ioc/documents/conformance_requirements_v04.pdf
(or link to it from http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/ioc/#documents)

 to members of your TC. We would like to have comments by February 12, in order to incorporate them into the next version of our document.

Thank you
