Stuart fixed symbol version in LSB v0.62 and rebuilt appchk & libchk
We discussed LSB "compliance" and "candidate".

Task 27920: we need a convergence plan for the spec and tests.
Task 27941: we need to develop an LSB Certification Program

self test, then send in the journal files with affidavit and trademark license agreement
we need to establish a trademark
we need an LSB certification registry
we need a form letter for those *claiming* to be LSB compliant :-)

LSB "candidate" may weaken our position

Spec: Bugs

Bug 227639, Anderson, library tables - what are the reqts? [system=base versus non-system=util]
