Subject: Re: [ekmi] [Fwd: Groups - oasis - Ballot "Motion to submit SKSMLSpecification 1.0 (DRAFT 6) for public review" has closed]


Ah, thanks for clearing that up.  That will simplify the work
quite a bit.  We'll take a look at the MUSTs/SHALLs and ensure
that the conformance language is clear to implementers.  Thanks
for the update.

The conformance section can be as simple as something like -- to be conformant with this spec you must adhere to all musts, etc. -- some TCs take that approach while others repeat a long list of conformance clauses.
