Requirements for "compliance with" TC specifications

In the message reproduced below, Dallas raises an important issue.  We
should discuss it during the conference call next week.  I invite other
comments in the meantime.

In Atlanta, we all agreed that implementers of our specifications must
report any changes or extensions they made in order to be considered as
being in "compliance with" the specification.  Dallas is saying that
something more is needed beyond a report of the changes or extensions;
the TC must review each implementation and state whether the
implementation is within the "spirit" of the specification.  This is an
important difference.

While this is not certification per se, I believe that the
TC would like to hear the views of your subcommittee on this issue at or
before the conference call next Tuesday.
