Here's a revised proposal with tweaks to more directly address "output as DITA" claims: "Tools that claim to support DITA authoring, or claim to support producing output as DITA, must allow authors to create arbitrary valid documents using the complete base DITA vocabulary, i.e. all DITA topic and map types, including all base element and attribute types. They must also must also document procedures to support creating arbitrary valid documents using arbitrary DITA specializations. Tools that claim partial support of DITA authoring or partial support of producing output as DITA, but do not support creation of arbitrary valid documents using the complete base DITA vocabulary, must document what parts of the vocabulary are not supported."
