This standard provides the minimum requirements, or, a frame of reference, against which the user, implementer, or software agent may compare the behavior of a document rendering system. According to this framework, the user may express what he or she expects of a document rendering system, the implementer may describe the functionality and capability of the document rendering system that he or she implements, and the software agent may negotiate a minimum set of functionality and capability that are shared across different document rendering system implementations.
The following list provides the minimum requirements, in other words, a frame of reference, to specify formatting functionality and rendering capability that a particular document rendering system may have. It is a prescriptive list to express the functionalities and capabilities of a document rendering system in a descriptive manner. The list does not require or endorse that any of the items in the list shall or should be implemented by a particular document rendering system implementation.
The list should cover functionality and capability of
