issue-63 (Re: Comment on ITS 2.0 specification WD - "conformance" Issue Type)

Thanks, Phil. This is now issue-63. When we discuss this we need to take 
the "stability aspect"
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-multilingualweb-lt-comments/2012Dec/0020.html
and the "existing tools" aspect
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-multilingualweb-lt-comments/2012Dec/0004.html
See in the latter mail the part
"the other types where based on what existing tools or  standards 
initiatives produce. "

Can you provide some input on that part?

Thanks,

Felix
