I agree with this logic from a vendors perspective. Conformance should be
based on a well defined compatability test suite and any servlet engine
vendor can measure themselves against. Does such a test suite exist?

Subject: Re: Tomcat-as-a-reference implementation?
Yes, I'm concerned about this from the perspective of the vendor of a
servlet/JSP engine that strives to faithfully implement the specs. My
concern is that people will apply the following logic to non-spec features:
1. Tomcat is the Reference Implementation of servlets/JSP.
2. Tomcat implements Feature X.
3. Vendor Y's servlet engine doesn't implement Feature X, or implements
it differently than Tomcat.
4. Therefore, Vendor Y's servlet engine isn't spec-compliant.
