Should ODF (or something/someone else?) state as a conformance clause that vendors claiming conformance must allow the results of "official"(?) testing to be published. Otherwise, you are correct, anyone can claim conformance and then specify you cannot test their product. The market might sort that out... maybe.

I think the approach taken with Java is a good one as a way to protect the ODF brand. Instead of within the standard, I guess the requirement would be in the license or maybe ODF should have an official protected trademark(s) usable to specify various levels of conformance/interop in at least a half-trustworthy fashion.

Trademarks have already been mentioned on this list. Is there something in the charter that should support ODF trademarks for testing/conformance? My vote: yes, there should be.
