http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=4638

           Summary: Conformance section needed
           Product: SML
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Core

        ReportedBy: cmsmcq@w3.org

The spec should have an explicit "Conformance" section, and it should
distinguish various classes of objects which can usefully be spoken of
as conforming, or not conforming, to the SML spec.  Definition documents,
instance documents, models as a whole, and software (possibly of
different kinds) are all obvious candidates for classes of conforming
objects.  The different classes of objects will have different 
conformance requirements, and distinguishing the classes will help make
discussion of conformance requirements clearer and less confusing,
so it might be good to resolve this issue earlier rather than later.
