What a document means when it purports to be normative is clear to | me, but when a section is labled "non-normative", I know what it is not, | but not necessarily what it is. | | Can someone offer paraphrase what the specs mean when they use this term? Informative (but not definitional). Explanatory (but not definitional). Ancillary. Incidental. Unnecessary. Sometimes useful.
