Following is commentary only. This is not a condition.
The test report is impressive in its thoroughness and, from a strictly 
technical point of view, appears to be quite complete. But it is done 
strictly in the abstract. From the test report, just to quote a somewhat 
random sampling, there are statements along the lines of:
Forces preCheck to return false, then checks that preCheck returns false
that attempting to change an argument's raw unit value is successful
While it is noted that it is very good to have all of the logic checks 
called out, this logic is strictly in the abstract, and therefore no 
demonstration of this logic against real world mission operation 
scenarios. As there is no such demonstartion there is then a lack of 
check/assurance that the logic is in fact not "empty". I suspect it is 
not.  Mapping the abstract service via prototype testing to some real 
world mission operation scenarios would, I think, hlep the working group 
to make the recommendation more compelling and thereby help to foster 
adoption for real world missions. 
To further illustrate this, consider a mission launch scenario, or an 
orbit insertion, or entry descent and landing. In addition, consider some 
sort of on-board fault detection.  I believe multiple of our member 
agencies have had to deal with these kind of scenarios and exercise 
spacecraft recovery as a result of on-board fault detection etc.  It would 
be interesting to see the services of the recommendation applied against 
such real-world scenarios and demonstrated as to how they (the scenarios) 
could be accommodated in a standardized fashion.
