I do have a question and would like clarification (anyone?) on an apparent

What was recorded in the AI list (and already done by me, on 20020112) is:

"AI-20030107-5 Lofton Change the title of guideline 13 into something like 
"identify all conformance criteria" 2003-01-10"

I need help remembering about "new checkpoint for Testable Assertions" 
(note, "test" not "testable").  Can someone refresh my memory, what  this 
was about?

One thing I do remember.  There was discussion of David's proposal 
[1]  (unresolved, prior to Seattle) that GL3 needed a catch-all ckpt that 
requires explicit statement of any miscellaneous conformance rules or rules 
of interpretation that WGs might be (implicitly) using:  "If any general 
rules of interpretation are intended, they must be stated explicitly."

I remember noting that if we recast GL13 as suggested (in AI-20030107-5), 
then such a checkpoint as David suggested might naturally fit as a new 
CP13.5.  (We did agree to the GL13 revision, but I don't remember what we 
did about David's suggested checkpoint and the idea of adding it to the 
reshaped GL13.)

Is this what we are talking about?

-Lofton.
