ASSEMBLY-121 Conformance to OPTIONAL Normative Statements - Proposal

["Eric Wells" <eric.wells@hitachisoftware.com>]

All,
    attached is a proposal for ASSEMBLY-121.

I've tried to "enter into the spirit" of the OASIS guidelines for the
Conformance section, although this may be more than we need for the SCA
Assembly specification as we don't really have too many optional statements.

If this is considered to be excessive we still need to state how the
optional statements are handled. For simplicity this could be a restatement
of the RFC2119 definitions and a "blanket" statement saying vendors can
implement the optional statement as they choose.

N.B. This is based on the document approved as resolution of ASSEMBLY-122.
This is necessary as that issue changed a significant number of the optional
normative statements.

Best Regards,
              Eric.
