Let there be two "levels" of EOMA68. "EOMA68" by itself can be construed from now on to mean "compatible with the standard in some reasonable way". Then, /with a separate and distinct but visually similar/ logo - "EOMA68 Certified", which is exactly that.
remember this is a mass-volume standard, the suggestion itself would cause massive confusion. think in terms of, "does the FSF allow such unclear distinctions about RYF Endorsement" and "why not" and the answer is, "because confusion has disastrous consequences"
also, which one is "OKAY" if one "lesser variant" of the standard can kill someone, but the other one can't?
... neither are ok, are they?
That doesn't get around the internationalization problem.
no... and i am legally NOT PERMITTED to subdivide continents and apply different "rules".... because that would be anti-D as in FRAND as in "Discriminatory".
If someone doesn't speak english and they are reading an english label, not seeing the word certified anywhere but in fact seeing the word EOMA68, then they might falsely assume the device is certified.
nobody gets confused, world-wide, about the Certification Mark "BLE" or the Certification Mark "HDMI".
argh can't read the rest too busy, so sorry. REALLY limited time right now.
