RE: Proposal for Conformance:Required Components:Platform

Maybe we should be a bit less prescriptive and say:

Platform: Provide relevant information regarding the software and/or hardware platform(s) on which the user agent depends for conformance. This information may include:
- hardware limitations (e.g., audio output enabled, minimum screen size: 2") 
- operating system(s) (e.g., Windows 8, Android 4.0+, iOS 5.0+, GNOME 2)
- other software environment (Java SE 7+, Eclipse 3.7+)
- "host" web browser - relevant when the conforming user agent is web-based (e.g., Firefox 14+, Safari 7.0+)
