Re #2, recall the TC Process definition:

  1(gg) "Substantive Change" is a change to a specification that would
  require a compliant application or implementation to be modified
  or rewritten in order to remain compliant.

Since the proposed 8.1 relaxes the conformance criteria by removing
normative references, a conformant implementation would remain
conformant after the change.  Changing from one normative reference
and namespace to another normative reference and namespace, however,
stands a better chance of being deemed substantive.
