Primes¶
- 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.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
