Does that mean if a program would find the CW directive it can assume that
every-thing in this file is compliant? E.g. the program would not have to
test if possible included parts are compliant, but assume that they are
since the parent is complient. I understand that this would be valid when
drawing the specific compliant part only, not if the included part is used
in a different part which is not compliant!
