no, it wouldn't - because of the very sentence we are talking about. because
we allow exceptions and because  I DO believe that there is NO way to write
up C1 and C2 compliance levels in a way that allows exotics like kpt to be
compliant without allowing nearly everything. that's WHY we allow
exceptions.

and the UISG compliance is because there isn't much in there yet, no? :)
