A question, would built changes done to the conformance doc be put in the 
gh-pages branch of the currently existing 
[Conformance](https://github.com/cf-convention/Conformance) repository so the 
draft would continue to be served from the same URI?

I've always wondered why these are actually separate documents, why isn't the 
conformance requirements included as an appendix or full on section of the 
cf-conventions?

#### Long Explanation of gh-pages question
There is currently a bit of github magic happening with regards to how this 
document is being served. Here is a summary:
* http://cfconventions.org/ is being served by github pages as the organization 
page from the 
[cf-convention.github.io](https://github.com/cf-convention/cf-convention.github.io)
 repository
* The [draft 
cf-conventions](http://cfconventions.org/cf-conventions/cf-conventions.html) 
document is being served as a project page from the [gh-pages branch of the 
cf-conventions 
repository](https://github.com/cf-convention/cf-conventions/tree/gh-pages) 
* The [draft 
conformance](http://cfconventions.org/Conformance/conformance.html) document is 
being served as a project page from the [gh-pages branch of the Conformance 
repository](https://github.com/cf-convention/Conformance/tree/gh-pages)

Because of the github [project pages 
rules](https://help.github.com/en/github/working-with-github-pages/about-github-pages#types-of-github-pages-sites),
 if the conformance document was merged into this repo, and also served from 
this repo's gh-pages branch, then the draft URL would change from 
http://cfconventions.org/Conformance/ to 
http://cfconventions.org/cf-conventions/Conformance/ assuming it exists as a 
"Conformance" directory.
