[Bug 2621] On conformance levels: Have a simple conformance: in situ, with default selectors

I had a look at the conformance of xhtml 2, see
http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-xhtml2-20050527/conformance.html#s_conform
There are only two levels: conformance to the markup definitins ("document
conformance"), and conformance to "xhtml family user agents". It then is defined
in detail how a user agent must behave. I am wondering if that would be useful
for us: Having just two conformance levels (1: markup conformance, 2: ITS
processing conformance), and defining for (2) in detail what it means - without
any optional features.
I think different from conformance is the question what kind of ITS information
occurs in a document, and for that purpose we could use an attribute like the
one Yves proposed in
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-i18n-its/2006JanMar/0016.html 
I would propose to use such an attribute *independently* of the conformance
discussion, and have only the two conformance levels mentioned.
