+\section{Legacy Interface: Transitional Device and
+Transitional Driver Conformance}\label{sec:Conformance / Legacy
+Interface: Transitional Device and 
+Transitional Driver Conformance}
+A conformant implementation MUST be either transitional or
+non-transitional, see \ref{sec:Basic Facilities of a Virtio
+Device / Feature Bits / Legacy Interface: A Note on transitions
+from earlier drafts}.
+
+A non-transitional implementation conforms to this specification
+if it satisfies all of the MUST or REQUIRED level requirements
+defined above.
+
+An implementation MAY choose to implement OPTIONAL support for the
+legacy interface, including support for legacy drivers
+or devices, by additionally conforming to all of the MUST or
+REQUIRED level requirements for the legacy interface
+for the transitional devices and drivers.
+
+The requirements for the legacy interface for transitional implementations
+are located in sections named "Legacy Interface" listed below:
