- Compatibility
- Compatibility is often conflated with interoperability, but they differ: compatibility is passive coexistence without conflict; interoperability requires active, coordinated interaction—the very distinction Postel (1980) crystallized as the robustness principle in RFC 760, instructing implementations to be conservative in what they send and liberal in what they accept so that compatibility precedes and enables interoperation.
This sourceInformation Sciences Institute. Original statement of the robustness principle (§3.2: "an implementation should be conservative in its sending behavior, and liberal in its receiving behavior"), establishing the engineering distinction between compatibility (acceptance of well-formed and slightly malformed inputs) and active interoperation between distinct implementations.
