Introduction

This checklist includes all defined requirements and good practices from the QA Framework: Specification Guidelines [QAF-SPEC] presented in a tabular format. The requirements and good practices are presented by order of their topics.

The presentation is intended to be convenient for organizers and evaluators of QA projects in W3C Working Groups, to facilitate assessing specifications against the checkpoints. The table includes spaces for scoring each checkpoint, "yes" (satisfied), "no" (not satisfied), "n/a" (not applicable), and comments.
