SUO: conformance




Folks,
   Here's a draft conformance clause (which I believe could apply to both 
IFF and SUMO).  Constructive feedback is welcome.

- Implementations of SUO are "ontologies" or "information models".
   - A conforming implementation is an ontology or information model that:
     [#1] Uses terms provided in the SUO, or
     [#2] Uses terms that are defined (using SUO-KIF) by other terms in the SUO
     [#3] Is consistent: a contradiction cannot be derived by means of 
first-order logic from the set of statements belonging to the 
implementation and the SUO.
