The determination of whether a system is aconforming SGML system is of value both to potential users of such systems andto their developers. This determination is, however, a complex
41、process. To thisend, efforts are underway to develop test suites to validate conformance. Stan-dardization of development and use of test suites assures consistency of resultsand informs the public of the implications of the tests. Such formalism is providedby this standard, which includes guideline
