Some use cases will only require a subset of compatibility for rule support. In PRR for example, we are not supporting some of the "advanced production rule features" that some vendors support (eg rule priorities) as many production rules and rulesets can be modeled without recourse to manually prioritizing certain rules. Presumably the same will apply to RIF - a universal superset of all rule languages would be an interesting long term academic research project but not practical for the short term. [I believe this point has already been discussed of course!].
