Title: Guideline G2 to be reconsidered

Description: Guideline G2 [1], slated for Section 5.1 of the Guidelines
document [2], reads: “An assertion author should define policy assertions for
behaviors that are relevant to compatibility tests, such as web service
protocols that manifest on the wire”. It seems to me that this good practice
has been overtaken by events around Ignorable (and maybe even the closed/open
world discussion of late). As editor, I don’t feel comfortable adding it to the
guidelines document without further clarification from the workgroup.
