RE: Re: Conformance use-cases

Hi Alastair,

I do think there is value in hearing about end-to-end solutions that are just missing a few things....

But that reminds me that we already have a "'Progress Toward Conformance' Statement" that could be used in this way.

So I am ok to leave "no-level" out of the Full conformance type.

Cheers,
Jan
