[ISSUE] Clear GP/Principle statements

QA WG,
This is the list of statements present now in the document. We have to 
check them individually and propose a rewrite that they are clear and 
not ambiguous.

Example:
From:
	ICS-021-GP: Determine the need for each option. Make sure there is a 
real need for the option.
To:
	ICS-021-GP: Determine the need for each optional feature. Make sure 
there is a real need for the optional feature.

ICS-015-Pr: Use a consistent style for conformance requirements and 
explain how to distinguish them

are suggested and which are optional
ICS-017-GP: Subdivide the technology to foster implementation
