With respect to this statement, does the statement only relate to last
version (this submission) of the specification? I.e. If our current
implementation is still a revision or two behind, must I wait to
(begin) upgrading to the latest before I can make this statement?

The OASIS process rules say the
following
about such statements:
"Statement of Use", with respect to a
specification, is a written statement by an OASIS Organizational Member
stating that it is successfully using or implementing that
specification
in accordance with the conformance clauses specified in Section 2.18*,
and stating whether its use included the interoperation of multiple
independent
implementations.
A recent example is:
We (IBM Belgium) are successfully using the EML
specifications
and schemas
in accordance with the conformance clauses specified in the Process and
Data Requirements document. Our use has included the interoperation of
multiple independent implementations (i.e. IBM Belgium - EDS).
The last sentence is only to be
included
if interop work with other implementations has occurred ...
For those needing to review the
impact
of the conformance clause statement, I would point at section 15 of the
specification ...
