Subject:	[sca-policy] NEW ISSUE: Clarify meaning of 'does not have to support intents' in Conformance section

---

TARGET: SCA Policy FW spec CD02/PR01

DESCRIPTION: 
Section 11 Conformance states (line 2346):
'The implementation does not have to support any intents listed in this specification, and MAY reject SCDL documents that contain them.'

Also consider that POL30024 says the following:
'An SCA Runtime MUST include in the Domain the set of intent definitions contained in the Policy_Intents_Definitions.xml described in the appendix "Intent Definitions" of the SCA Policy specification.'

What does it mean to support an intent? Section 11 needs to be clarified.

PROPOSAL: 
None.


This completes my outstanding AI: 20090727-01: status=pending: Dave to raise an issue against the Policy spec to deal with the inconsistency relating to the support of intents.
