Just to see what this would look like, did a fairly naive find/replace, but kept "conforming alternate version" as is (as there was some concern about changing that)

Discussed briefly on backlog call 5/16. Agreement that alternative better alternate, but concern that there might still be too many replacements with conforming alternate version being the canonical term.

TF discussed and although this is technically correct, we believe that since the spec has existed with this wording for 17 years, it can continue without negative effect.

The terms "alternate" and "alternative" are used inconsistently through the spec and non-normative material
