Conformance

[jonathanrobie]

What does it mean to confirm to the Scripture Burrito specification?

We need to define both (1) conformance for readers and (2) conformance for writers.

For readers, perhaps a system needs to identify one or more flavors that it can read, and it needs to be able to read any valid Burrito of that flavor.

For writers, we need to consider extensibility and x- flavors, etc.

Do implementations need to support .zip?

Add a section to documentation for "Conformance" which describes the following:

• if you support SB, then:
  • you should list the flavorTypes that your application can use (including custom flavorTypes, if applicable)
  • list the schema versions that you support
  • indicate whether you can only read and/or write SBs
  • graciously error on flavorTypes that you don't support (let user know that flavorType is not supported)
