3. Is it acceptable for an "independent implementation" to add
additional "requires" and/or "requires transitive" edges from a

I assume this will be covered by the documentation for certifying a
Java SE 9 implementation.
However just to say that if you change module M to `requires
transitive X` then you expose the X API to whoever requires M. So I
expect `requires transitive` (or "implied readability" as it is
termed) will feature in the module graph equivalent of the signature
test.
This is absolutely right. JCK ModuleGraph test makes sure independent
implementation does not add new 'requires transitive' or 'exports'
statements.
Thanks.
