The sense of the word in English. The opposite of "forbidden".

In other words: nothing forbids non-compliant applications. The specification 
deals with what a compliant application and a compliant device must do, at 
minimum. What they do in *addition* to the spec is not defined by the spec.

That's the idea.

But note that "work" in our sense here means "it loads and runs", not that it 
displays properly or that the application is even suitable for the device.
