Err... Do you mean technology's functionality?

My suggestions would be to replace "specification" with "technology" in
the 3 concerned GL. 

As an aside:
- I wonder if the GL about levels brings anything useful, since levels
don't really exert any influence on conformance or implementation.
- I begin to wonder if we should try or not to specify a modularization
framework that would allow to create modularized technologies more
easily
- it's rather interesting that all the modules and profiles based
technologies are developed inside the Document Format [1] Domain. Maybe
this should inspire us a relationship between these dimensions of
variability and some product classes.
