I used the simple criteria that if remebering any state is required it 
goes in full option.

Duplicate elimination requires state in receiver, that is why I put it 
in full.

I guess moving more into simple conformance is one way forwared, which 
might be better
than having one more conformance classes.

I am not sure what difference it would make for interop.  The sender 
selects the options
it wants when it populates the request parameters.  If it does not 
support a feature, it will
not ask for it in the request.
