As an informative specification this is useful. I have always had a problem calling this a compliance document, as the compliance document is the applicability statement. This is a guidance toward compliance. Or a guidance on deployment models toward compliance.

I think the backstop seems to be the spec that uses the SMTP backbone, etc. The enabling technology stuff is great and necessary, but this one sentence seems to have a circular reference that i think negates the enabling technologies stuff. Therefore I propose the following edit: "Similarly, when evaluating enabling technology, the simplest test to demonstrate Direct Project compliance is that the technology enables, for the users or other endpoints served by the technology, Direct Project-compliant transmission to and from other Direct Project-compliant addresses that are themselves served by technology implemented according to the Applicability Statement for Secure Health Transport' ." This might seem to rule out a network comprised entirely of enabling technology, but I think that a test of compliance would necessarily enjoin a some node that is accessible according to the referenced applicability statement. The ability to transact in a compliant manner (not actual end-to-end homogeneity in a given deployment) is what is being tested.

I agree w. the spirit of the document that the proof is in the pudding (sending from any Direct-compliant address to any other, whether through the pure Applicability Statement or through "enabling technology"). But I also get the point raised by MedAllies about what appears to be a "circular reference" that defines "Direct compliance" in terms of itself. So I am OK with MedAllies' proposed wording change, or a shorter version thereof.
