       <p>As well as sections marked as non-normative, all authoring guidelines, diagrams, 
       examples, and notes in this specification are non-normative. 
       Everything else in this specification is normative.</p>
       <p>The key words "MAY", "MUST", "MUST NOT", "OPTIONAL", "RECOMMENDED", "REQUIRED", 
       "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", and "SHOULD NOT" are to be interpreted as described in

+        <p>There are many possible ways a Post Type Discovery implementation can be used and tested.
+          This section describes possible conformance classes from existing implementations and use-cases.

+        <h4>Type Discovery Function</h4>
+        <p>A Type Discovery Function consumes untyped posts from an untyped format or protocol,
+          (e.g. the h-entry microformat) and outputs the type output 
+          (e.g. a simple one-word string like "note" or "article")
+          of the algorithm implemented 
+          (either the Response Type Algorithm or the Post Type Algorithm).</p>
+        <h4>AS2 Proxy</h4>
+        <p>An AS2 Proxy consumes untyped posts from an untyped format or protocol, 
+           and outputs valid [[!AS2]] JSON using the equivalent AS2 Activity and/or Object Types.
