Title: Interoperability Testing Required

Description:

This issue separates the interoperability testing from the Related issues listed below. This completes an action assigned to William Cox at the 24 June TC meeting with respect to the related issues listed below.

Interoperability testing is required by OASIS for any OASIS standard that is to be forwarded to any de jure international standards body. This issue is to remind the TC to define, plan, and complete interoperability testing during the creation of the specifications, not as an afterthought when the specifications are nearly completed.

This applies after CD02 and prior to CD03.

Related issues: i053, i054, i055

Proposed Resolution: Define, plan, and complete interoperability testing. The definition and plan is to be completed before CD03 and before any public review; the implementation should be in parallel with specification development, and must be started before any public review.
