Good there is a conformance section in your document but which is a  
bit dry, maybe once you have defined your class of products, you  
could define what does that mean to be conformant to XMLHttpRequest.

For example,
if one class of product is a "user agent with a scripting engine", to  
reach "basic conformance" would mean that all MUST have to be  
implemented, and for "full conformance", All MUST and SHOULD have to  
be implemented.

This is just an example, The WG would have to define its own  
conformance model.
