 If two capability requirements contain different atoms that are conflicting with each other, these two requirements are considered __incompatible__.
 For example, requirement `spvShaderClockKHR + fragment` and requirement `spvShaderClockKHR + vertex` are incompatible, because `fragment` conflicts with `vertex`.

-## Inference of Capability Requirements
+## Capabilities Between Subtype and Supertype
+
+For inheritance/implementing-interfaces the story is a bit different.
+We require that the subtype (`Foo1`) have a subset of capabilities to the supertype (`IFoo1`).
+
+For example:
+```csharp
+[require(sm_4_0)]
+interface IFoo1
+{
+}
+[require(sm_6_0)]
+struct Foo1 : IFoo1
+{
+}
+```
+We error here since `Foo1` is not a subset to `IFoo1`. `Foo1` has `sm_6_0`, which includes capabilities `sm_4_0` does not have.
+
+```csharp
+[require(sm_6_0)]
+interface IFoo2
+{
+}
+[require(sm_4_0)]
+interface IFoo1
+{
+}
+[require(sm_4_0)]
+struct Foo1 : IFoo1, IFoo2
+{
+}
+```
+We do not error here since `IFoo2` and `IFoo1` are supersets to `Foo1`.
+
+Additionally, any supertype to subtype relationship must share the same shader stage and shader target support.
+
+```csharp
+// Error, Foo1 is missing `spirv`
+[require(hlsl)]
+[require(spirv)]
+interface IFoo1
+{
+}
+[require(hlsl)]
+struct Foo1 : IFoo1
+{
+}
+
+// Error, IFoo1 is missing `hlsl`
+[require(hlsl)]
+interface IFoo1
+{
+}
+[require(hlsl)]
+[require(spirv)]
+struct Foo1 : IFoo1
+{
+}
+```
+
+## Capabilities Between Requirement and Implementation
+
+We require that all requirement capabilities are supersets of their implementation (only required if capabilities are explicitly annotated). 
+
+```csharp
+public interface IAtomicAddable_Pass
+{
+    public static void atomicAdd(RWByteAddressBuffer buf, uint addr, This value);
+}
+public extension int64_t : IAtomicAddable_Pass
+{
+    public static void atomicAdd(RWByteAddressBuffer buf, uint addr, int64_t value) { buf.InterlockedAddI64(addr, value); }
+}
+
+public interface IAtomicAddable_Error
+{
+    [require(glsl, sm_4_0)]
+    public static void atomicAdd(RWByteAddressBuffer buf, uint addr, This value);
+}
+public extension uint : IAtomicAddable_Error
+{
+    // Error: implementation has superset of capabilites, sm_6_0 vs. sm_4_0
+    // Note: sm_6_0 is inferred from `InterlockedAddI64`
+    public static void atomicAdd(RWByteAddressBuffer buf, uint addr, int64_t value) { buf.InterlockedAddI64(addr, value); }
+}
+```
+
+Requirment and implementation must also share the same shader stage and shader target support.
+
+```csharp
+public interface IAtomicAddable_Error
+{
+    [require(glsl)]
+    [require(hlsl)]
+    public static void atomicAdd(RWByteAddressBuffer buf, uint addr, This value);
+}
+public extension uint : IAtomicAddable_Error
+{
