Richard Coppen commented on MQTT-176:
-------------------------------------

Possible action:

remove line 1692 The remainder of this chapter is non normative.
replace 1661 and 1662 with:

This Chapter is provided for guidance only and is Non Normative. However, it is strongly recommended that Server implementations that offer TLS [RFC5246] SHOULD use TCP port 8883 [IANA service name: secure-mqtt].

> The opening sentence of 5 Security reads:
> *****
> The recommendations contained in this chapter are provided for guidance only and are not intended to serve as a complete reference on the subject. 
> *****
> and then at the end of the hanging paragraph that starts 5, says:
> *****
> The remainder of this chapter is Non Normative.
> *****
> I think the entire chapter is non-normative by its own admission and so could either be marked: Section 5 Security Non-Normative (with appropriate changes to the internal language) or made a non-normative appendix.
