I'm hesitant to suggest that service descriptions be part of protocol conformance, but that would at least give a stronger and less variable sense of what protocol conformance means (still 5 things that could be conformant, but with a SD that tells you which of the 5 is actually implemented). This also relates to a point raised in DB-6 asking if the SD conformance text belongs in the protocol document. (As currently specified, I think not; if SD is required of protocol implementations in the future, then probably yes.)
