Re: [security-services] URGENT: normative refs (wasRe:[security-services] FW: status of ITU submission)

Ultimately I changed these to be non-normative (as noted in a later 
message, I think), because of the nature of the references.  This saved 
me from having to look up their current status to see if they have 
progressed to become Recommendations. :-)
