wording "strict conformance"

I need a little help clarifying some wording...

Reference:
http://www.w3.org/QA/WG/2002/08/qaframe-spec-0811#Ck-clarify-strict

It says:

"Either use the definition provided above (@@link) (or in the QA Glossary 
[QA-GLOSSARY]), modify it, or provide your own definition (@@really?!). It 
is strongly recommended that the definition given above be used to ensure 
consistency across WGs and promote a common understanding of conformance 
requirements."

What about "...provide your own definition"?  Why do we say that?  What is 
an example/scenario where it would make sense?
