But, my issue is with the word, "define" or "specify".  IMHO, the SLS
"defines" the values or behavior, and the rules "act on" or "realize" the
definition.  I didn't equate "implement" with "implementation", but I can
see the problem with that word.

Does "realize" make it better or worse ("... the set of rules that realize
the parameters and range ...")?

"Implements" is worse because the rules have nothing to do with
implementation (a standardization absolute).  If you think "defines"
crosses a boundary, I suggest "specifies".
