regarding: "Guideline 3. Specify flavors of conformance. " -- http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-qaframe-spec-20020515/ That guideline is presented as if different flavors of conformance have no downside whatsoever. I don't think that's the case. "flavors of conformance" are evil. They're the antithesis of interoperability. Note design goal 5 of XML: "The number of optional features in XML is to be kept to the absolute minimum, ideally zero." -- http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#sec-origin-goals I suggest that should be a design goal of all W3C specs. Please update qaframe accordingly. -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/
