<abstract>
<t>This document defines a set of criteria by which a DSA implementation may be judged.  Particular issues covered include conformance to standards; performance; demonstrated interoperability.  The intention is that the replies to the questions posed provide a fairly full description of a DSA. Some of the questions will yield answers which are purely descriptive; others, however, are intended to elicit answers which give some measure of the utility of the DSA. The marks awarded for a DSA in each particular area should give a good indication of the DSA's capabilities, and its suitability for particular uses.</t>
