This informative annex cannot define conformance requirements. Moreover, it is not clear what "conformance requirements" on format designers mean.
Change "conformance requirements" to "guidelines", for example.
Part 2 Annex H (Conformance Requirements)

Proposed Disposition of DIS 29500 Comment JP-0046 (Modified: 2008-01-04) Agreed; the following change will be made to Part 2, §Annex H, page 88, lines 18: Annex H Conformance Requirements Best Practices This annex is informative. This annex summarizes all conformance requirements best practices for producers and consumers implementing the Open Packaging Conventions. It is intended as a convenience; the text in the referenced clause or subclause is considered normative in all cases. Conformance requirements Best practices are divided into tables based on their general topic below. The tables contain the requirements that producers and consumers shall follow, those that they should follow, and those that are optional. Each conformance requirement best practice is given a unique ID comprised of a letter (M MANDATORY; S SHOULD; O OPTIONAL), an identifier for the topic it relates to, and a unique ID within that topic.
