This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
The current working draft (Web Services Choreography Description Language Version 1.0, W3C Working Draft 27 April 2004) completely lacks a conformance clause. A conformance clause should be added so that implementers, and others, are clear precisely what the requirements are on an implementation for it to be deemed conformant. I suggest that we could use the conformance clause in WSDL as a starting point - refer to Clause 8 of Web Services Description Language (WSDL) Version 2.0 Part 1: Core Language, W3C Working Draft 26 March 2004. If we agree that there can be different kinds of implementation of the language then I suggest that each identified kind of implementation has its own sub-clause, in addition to any general sub-clauses. For instance, we may wish to distinguish between tools that perhaps support the creation of choreographies and produce an XML document that conforms to the CDL specification from implementations that consume such an XML document and then monitor or police (or generate part of) a choreographed message exchange.
