Conformant is in common use. You might be more comfortable with
conforming.
Richard Stallman points out that you comply with the law, but you
conform to a standard. I think it's useful to make that semantic
distinction, cf. RFC 2119 MUST vs. SHOULD or MAY.
Indeed. My regular dictionary doesn't have it, but WordWeb does:
http://www.wordwebonline.com/en/CONFORMANT
Seems to be a 'term of art' in computing rather than a regular
English word, and the most appropriate word in the context in
which I used it. But perhaps it should be added to the Glossary
itself :)
