After looking more closely at the new draft [1] and our original comment [2] I guess I don't now see what to say. I think it's clear that just being a member of a named product class doesn't make you non-conforming, that always only happens if you _claim_ conformance. Is what we want something that makes clear that a particular product may be a member of different classes wrt different specs? So e.g. a UA may be a parser wrt XML but an API wrt DOM? Or something that makes it clear that if a product in a covered class is included or exploited in/by another product, then for the purposes of conformance to the spec in question, the other product is _also_ covered? ht [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/qaframe-spec/#what-conform [2] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-qa/2005Jan/0025 -- Henry S.
