How do you mean?  Since the CGL LSB profile would define a more limited
set of the overall LSB profile (that is, certifying your application
with the CGL LSB profile means you are LSB without any GUI) wouldn't
that mean that by definition passing the larger set of LSB features
would be a cake-walk?
