Title: ISSUE 164: SDO Compliant Documentation

Hi Everyone,

As discussed, I've created a JIRA issue to discuss this:
http://www.osoa.org/jira/browse/SDO-164

As promised, I've uploaded a first pass at the core spec here:  http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/sdo/download.php/33803/sdo-core-090814.doc

The version has an appendix where the compliance points are listed, with links to the relevant sections of the spec…I believe that this is what Brian was referring to when he said we should copy what was done in the SCA assembly TC.

I've used the keyword MUST to indicate a compliance point for the implementation.  I tried to keep these limited to stuff for which I could imagine writing a test.  For constraints on application, I used "requires".  I noticed that the SCA spec also has compliance points on things like the SCDL files, so it seemed OK to use 2119 language here.  The appendix contains only MUSTS.

Of course I had to make a bunch of editorial changes, and as I was going thru I reworked some paragraphs that I thought were unclear.  I tried not to alter the meaning of anything, only to clarify, but this requires everyone review the changes.  The only big change was that I removed section 4.2.7, on change summary serialization, to chapter 11 (ChangeSummary XML Format). 

Best Regards,
Ron
