Hi, Here's my suggestion for the action item Editors to add to a draft s.t. about the output of ITS recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/01/10-i18nits-minutes.html#action07 I suggest to add the text under "General" to both the Spec (as a note in the section on conformance) and the test suite document. The text under "Specific" would be meant to be placed only in the test suite document. I haven't yet included the XML Schema for the output. I have to admit that I was slightly unclear about the action item. Hopefully, however, I am not too far off the mark. Let me know what you think. Cheers, Christian === General: The ITS Working group provides a conformance test suite for ITS. The test suite aims at helping implementors to write applications that support the ITS specifications. In no way are these conformance tests in the sense of providing companies or institutions with certification of ITS support. The only claim that could be made is that a particular implementation is conformant to a particular version of the ITS test suite. The test suite basically provides pairs of input and output files. Since the output files implement a specific format it is recommanded that implementors equip their tools with the possibility to produce this output format. This way, conformance checking will be easy. Specific: There are two cases of results of running the test suite: The implementation fails to pass the test suite. In this case it can be asserted that the implementation fails to meet the relevant ITS specification. The implementation passes the test suite. In this case all that can be asserted is that the implementation is conformant to that particular version of the ITS test suite. The output format is defined by the following XML Schema ...
