Hi all,

To have the discussion on conformance started / continued: Here is a proposal
for two ITS products. This issue is related to the conformance issue.

"ITS markup declarations": This product encompasses the XML DTD, XML Schema or
RELAX NG schemata for ITS. The usage of this product is integration into an
existing or new schema. As for conformance: A schema is conformant, if it allows
all data category and selector attributes at all elements in the schema, and the
<documentRules> element at at least one element.

"ITS processor": This product processes ITS markup in document or schemas. "ITS
markup" encompasses both data category and selector attributes, and the elements
like <documentRule>. The usage of this product is currently the application of
the selection mechanisms described in section
http://www.w3.org/International/its/itstagset/itstagset.html#selection . As for
conformance: An ITS processor is conformant, if he processes all selection
mechanisms.

The conformance check of "Its markup declarations" will be made by a schema
validator. The conformance test for an "ITS processor" is a test suite we have
to develop from now on. It must contain tests for the selection mechanisms we
have defined. If the "ITS processor" passes all tests, he is conformant.

Yves, if we use only these two products (which by the way are independent of
each other), you don't have to be afraid of interoperability problems anymore,
do you?

Regards, Felix.
