Description Karl Dubost 2005-01-10 04:19:34 UTC 
ISSUE: Topic still in discussion by the WG
Extensions must not contradict or negate conformance to the specification. If it conformed without the 
extension, conformance should hold true with the extension. A coordination with the TAG and Web 
Architecture document has to be done.
Comment
Karl: The principle has to be written. A coordination with the TAG is in the process.

Still Open?

Karl proposes that it is old and probably closed.

(addressed by SpecGL 4.3 GP B, Technique "Verify that this mechanism prevents
the creation of extension conflicting with the semantics of the specification." )
