agreed

and I am unclear what we tell users that DNT does for them if it’s “anything that anyone can write in a compliance document”.  I wonder whether we need to say that you can only use TPE if you comply with at least one compliance specification that is at least as protective as the TCS, i.e. TCS is a baseline?

the formal statement of that would be that TCS is required or assumed to be part of the compliance array,
