146+
147+ <p>For this specification to exit the CR stage, the following
148+ conditions must be met:</p>
149+ <ol>
150+ <li>
151+ <p>There must be at least two interoperable implementations
152+ for every feature. For the purposes of this criterion,
153+ we define the following terms:</p>
154+ <dl>
155+ <dt>feature</dt>
156+ <dd>
157+ <p>
158+ A section or subsection of the specification.
159+ </p>
160+ </dd>
161+ <dt>interoperable</dt>
162+ <dd>
163+ <p>passing the respective test cases in the test suite, or,
164+ if the implementation is not a web browser, equivalent tests.
165+ Every relevant test in the test suite should have an equivalent
166+ test created if such a UA is to be used to claim interoperability.
167+ In addition if such a UA is to be used to claim interoperability,
168+ then there must one or more additional UAs which can also pass
169+ those equivalent tests in the same way for the purpose of
170+ interoperability. The equivalent tests must be made publicly
171+ available for the purposes of peer review.</p>
172+ </dd>
173+ <dt>implementation</dt>
174+ <dd>
175+ <p>a user agent which:</p>
176+ <ol>
177+ <li>implements the feature.</li>
178+ <li>is available (i.e. publicly downloadable or available
179+ through some other public point of sale mechanism). This is the
180+ "show me" requirement.</li>
181+ <li>is shipping (i.e. development, private or unofficial
182+ versions are insufficient).</li>
183+ <li>is not experimental (i.e. is intended for a wide audience
184+ and could be used on a daily basis).</li>
185+ </ol>
186+ </dd>
187+ </dl>
188+ </li>
189+ <li><p>A minimum of six months of the CR period must have elapsed.
190+ This is to ensure that enough time is given for any remaining major
191+ errors to be caught.</p></li>
192+ <li><p>The CR period will be extended if implementations are slow to
193+ appear.</p></li>
194+ <li><p>Features will be dropped (thus reducing the list of "all"
195+ features mentioned above) if two or more interoperable
196+ implementations of those features are not found by the end of the CR
197+ period.</p></li>
198+ <li><p>Features will also be dropped if sufficient and adequate
199+ tests (by judgment of the working group) have not been produced for
200+ those features by the end of the CR period.</p></li>
