I'm a just a little unclear how "fundamental nature of XTM information"
equates to "conformance criteria", and as far as the CM being used as a
conformance criterion, "'Tis a consummation devoutly to be wished." I
guess it's so obvious I can't see it.

Oh? Why? You seem to be arguing -- you can't be possibly be arguing
this, please clarify -- that it is OK in principle to put material in
the specification that's not "cooked" -- not not not NOT! that the CM
falls into this category. If this is your belief about how specs should
be written, how can the spec be regarded as normative?!
