Normative vs. Non-normative references

[Patrick Durusau <patrick@durusau.net>]

Chet,

We are nearing a final version of the ICOM document and a question has 
arisen about the normative vs. non-normative references section.

We have a number of references, mostly to RFCs, in the document that do 
not appear in either the normative or non-normative section of the document.

The TC has discussed whether all the references (RFCs or not) need to 
appear either as normative or non-normative references without reaching 
a consensus position.

Can you give us some guidance on whether references must all be 
accounted for (as in appear in) the normative or non-normative section 
of an OASIS committee document?

Thanks!

Hope you are having a great week!

Patrick
