      Defined two conformance targets as follows:

      (1) Conformance of an application to PIM
      (2) Conformance of a specification to PIM
      Note that the term implementation may apply to both an application that uses MIN and a specification that extends or otherwise reuses PIM.

      This clarifies the "implementations and specifications" concept, and is more specific.

This clarifies the "implementations and specifications" concept, and is more specific.

      The conformance targets or possible implementations that are subject to conformance are not well defined: we read "Implementations and specifications " in the conformance clause. These need be defined even if only intuitively. What is the difference between Implementations and specifications ? Can we use another term than "specifications" which is rather overloaded (also used for "this specifications" - are we talking of different classes of specifications?). At some other place we read "an application or specification..." - needs be defined too in this context. The base specification (PIM V1.0) also uses "specifications" as conformance target, but not defined.
