Something in that direction seems reasonable, but that
particular wording conflicts with our recent decision
on #issue-conformance-labels:

RESOLUTION: to use consistent vocabulary, but not use them as
conformance labels.
http://www.w3.org/2007/01/17-grddl-wg-minutes.html#item04
<- http://www.w3.org/2004/01/rdxh/spec#issue-conformance-labels

The term the editors have agreed to is "GRDDL aware agent" rather
than "GRDDL implementation", and it's not a conformance label, so
we can't use it with RFC2119 MUSTs nor SHOULDs.
