Is there any W3C guidance on conformance statements?

Here is my VERY STRONG (i.e., can't live without) suggestion:

	Remove the entire idea of supporting a claim of "most of OWL DL
	reasoning".

Even further, I strongly believe that there is no place in the OWL
conformance definitions for anything like "most" or "almost all" or "some".
