How do we get the standard implemented to spec by the engineers and developers that are working with it?

What tooling, documentation do we need?

• Test suite for documents
• Test suite for implementations
• Validator of documents (that uses the test suite)
• Standard library for creating documents
• Reference implementation to show that a document “works”.

How much must be in place for the standard to be good enough? Difference between “valid document” and something that “works”. Hard to anticipate all the ways in this could go wrong.

“Is the information I need present” (Schematron) vs “Does it conform to the structure enforced by the DTD”

• Can rely on existing validators for standards that we use.

Presentation layer vs Information layer

Validator will test whether the information is conformant, not whether the presentation is conformant.

We're building a test suite that allows engineers to validate their implementation.
