Bart Hanssens commented on OIC-64:
----------------------------------

I've used "capable of" because a producer may (for instance) also capable / be able to produce, say, XHTML or ePub 

(but I have no problem with replacing 

"Interoperable Producer: ODF Implementation capable of producing..." 

with 

"Interoperable Producer: ODF Implementation producing ..." )

> The terminology section to name conformance targets and then uses shorthand identifiers for them. It is better to identify ODF 1.1 Producers, Consumers, Documents, and Implementations as special terms and identify the targets in section 3. Using codes should be avoided. They are too noisy and a mess for translators. 
> I suggest Interoperable Producer, Interoperable Consumer, etc., are preferable as names for these conformance targets, always using proper (capitalized) names. They could be listed in a terminology section too, but referencing the definitions in section 3. 
> Finally, being "capable of" is not great as a conformance qualification.
