I'm not suggesting we should drop the conformance criteria; we just need to
flesh out what they actually mean. Instead of saying "A product may claim
conformance", we need to say "A product may claim conformance if XYZ". I think
this probably needs to be along the lines you suggest:

"A product may claim conformance with the Infoset mapping if it is able to
generate an XDM document instance from source XML, producing the same XDM
instance that would be produced by generating an Infoset from the source XML as
described in XYZ, and then generating an XDM document from the infoset as
described in PQR."

-- and similarly for the PSVI.

This gets around the problem that infosets and PSVIs are not tangible objects
that can be supplied as input to a product in by a portable test suite.
