I retract my request for this specification. Please do consider moving the conformance criteria clause (possibly the most important part of the spec) from the appendices to the start of the spec in a future release, though. I believe it would raise the profile of the section (appendices are often simply ignored). This would be a good thing given the current state of implementations with respect to this section.
