    Subject: Re: [emergency] Draft TC Letter on HazCollect


    While I understand the point with regard to the word "compliant" and 
    the implications of a testing regimen to back it, I think we could 
    use the words "conformant" or "non-conformant" and qualify that use 
    by saying that it indicates that all mandatory elements indicated by 
    "MUST" in the specification are implemented or not when "conformance" 
    or "non-conformance" is used in regard to a given implementation. We 
    should probably also acknowledge the current (temporary?) lack of a 
    certification program backed by a rigorous "compliance testing" 
    regimen.
    
    Cheers,
    Rex
