I don't think it is true.  It is not only about the *document* class  
of products

For example, in the user agent class of product a requirement of HTML  
4.01:

	"For reasons of accessibility, user agents must
	always make the content of the TITLE element
	available to users (including TITLE elements
	that occur in frames).
	-- http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/global.html#edef-TITLE

What is important is to clearly define the class of products. See

* 2.2.2 What needs to conform? [1]
* 3. Classes of products and specification category [2]


The following is a list of the most common classes of products for W3C  
specifications:

     * Content (of type, meaning, and format as defined in the  
specification)
     * Producer of content (may be divided into initiators and  
modifiers)
     * Player (read-only consumer, conveys content in non- XML way)
     * Consumer in a one-way pipeline
     * Responding agent (e.g., server) of API (consumer and producer)
     * Processor (consumer of its vocabulary/instructions)
     * Module that hosts the processor
     * Producer of instructions/commands to processor
     * Profile derived from the specification's Rules for Profiles
     * Specification (guidelines)
