# Conformance
Would Conformance address your request? A conformance section has in
its goals:
to define what an implementers has
to do for a specific type of products.
A conformance section is /not/ monolithic. It really depends upon the
class of products.
I have explained this in [HTML classes of products][1]
# Practical Conformance
In a practical way, it means that an element can be authorized for
one class of product and forbidden for another one. Even further than
that, it can be defined that one specific product can read a document
with some constraints and save documents with another set of
constraints.
For example, when you create "HTML tidy", an HTML implementation, you
want to be sure to read documents (any kind of documents) but you
want to be sure to write a version of your document which is in
accordance with what is an HTML document.
# HTML Specification.
The HTML is not yet a W3C draft, it is now under the W3C CVS Web
space. But there will be at a point, a first published version.
People will raise issues, people will make comments and reviews, deep
reviews, with different perspectives depending on their background. I
will discuss with chairs soon on how to organize a set of reviews in
the communitie*s*.
Until the specification has reached Last Call, the main content of
the technology is /not/ sealed in concrete. Keep this in mind.
Hope it helps to understand
