Does that mean if a program would find the CW directive it can assume that
every-thing in this file is compliant?

No (like Gary said).  Two reasons:

1. The 0 FACE directive would be an operative switch, not a global setting.
This is convenient, but it is also necessary in some cases.  Most
importantly, it would allow the 0 FACE meta-statement to appear multiple
times in a file, changing the setting.

2. Each file is on its own, for compliance.  Compliant part files may need
to depend on non-compliant primitive files.
