Good point.  In the W3C QA work, these are now called "Implementation 
Conformance Statement" (ICS).  That derived from NIST work, and is also 
written into the OASIS Conformance TC specifications.

The blank form would be an "ICS pro-forma".  (We have been using 
unqualified "pro-forma" for everything.)

Here's the plan...

At initial publication of the pages:  blank ICS pro-formas and instruction 
to users to "ask your vendor to fill in the information".

60 days from publication:  vendor replaces the blank with completed ICS (or 
else product is removed from pages).

Yes, as above.
