TL;DR:
This article explains how the interop layer from 175 becomes a living standard.
Interop is not just a schema. A portable standard needs governed registry evolution, expiring conformance attestations, threat-modeled artifact exchange, and shared reason codes. Otherwise “same artifact,” “same bundle,” and “same verdict” collapse back into vendor-local theater.

Why it matters:
• turns schema registries into governed objects, not wikis
• makes interop compliance measurable, scoped, and expiring
• handles schema upgrades through SemVer, migration windows, dual issuance, and cutoffs
• treats exchanged bundles as attack surfaces, not trusted files
• makes DENY decisions portable through shared reason codes
What’s inside:
• registry governance contracts and registry state receipts
• compatibility policy for ACTIVE / DEPRECATED / WITHDRAWN schemas
• upgrade plan receipts for breaking changes
• conformance attestations binding c14n, schema, and bundle replay receipts
• threat handling for schema spoofing, registry substitution, ZIP attacks, signature forgery, replay mixing, and resource exhaustion
Key idea:
Do not say:
*“we support the standard.”*
Say:
*“we are pinned to this registry state, passed this conformance program for this scope, and verify exchanged artifacts under this threat model and shared dispute vocabulary.”*
Standards survive when evolution, certification, and adversaries are go
