Re: [security-services] FW: Guidelines on Conformance Clauses
To see if I'm on the right track, would the following conformance
section section suffice for the Attribute Sharing Profile?

http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/security/download.php/24299/sstc-saml-x509-authn-attrib-profile-cd-03.pdf

--------------------------------------
Implementation Conformance

An implementation is a conforming Basic Mode Attribute Requester if
the implementation meets the conditions in section 3. An
implementation is a conforming Encrypted Mode Attribute Requester if
the implementation meets the conditions in section 4. An
implementation shall be a conforming Basic Mode Attribute Requester or
a conforming Encrypted Mode Attribute Requester (but not both). An
implementation that is a conforming Encrypted Mode Attribute Requester
necessarily meets the requirements of a conforming Basic Mode
Attribute Requester since the former is an extension of the latter.
