XML Protocol LC#2 review question on implementation testing

In reviewing the Charmod LC#2, the XML Protocol WG has a request in
relation to implementation conformance.

- Section 2 Conformance, 3rd paragraph, last sentence
- "[S] [I] [C] In order to conform to this document, specifications MUST
NOT violate any requirements preceded by [S], software MUST NOT violate any
requirements preceded by [I], and content MUST NOT violate any requirements
preceded by [C]."
- The XML Protocol WG has produced a protocol specification, which makes
various testable assertions, as well as a Collection of Tests [1] each
showing whether an assertion is implemented in the protocol processor.  As
such, the tests do not check for conformance to other specifications (e.g.
XML 1.0).  The XML Protocol WG asks the I18n WG to comment on whether the
[I] implementation requirements of Charmod apply to the XMLP Test
Collection.
