4. Known problems
---------------------------

Please refer to the release notes associated with each tool package, for the details
of known problems with the tools.

A more up-to-date and detailed "tools errata" is also published and maintained on the 
WS-I site, independently from this tool package. This errata contains issues that will
be considered for the next release.

NOTE: due to namespaces, the Report.xsl is not backward compatible.

NOTE: There is no guarantee that the C# and Java tools will always produce the same conformance 
report from the same input material. In spite of extensive tool testing and alignment,
some discrepancies remain that are due to differences in the utilities
that are natively provided by each development platform.
The cases where discrepancies are expected are documented in the release notes, 
and detailed in the errata.
