Not sure about that - it isn't always either/or but sometimes both/and
see SOAP tests collection

The type of comment I mean is, for example, in SOAP tests where some
spec requirements have corresponding TAs for completeness but those
TAs aren't actually testable so there is a comment in the TA to say so.
Other examples are where the tests do not completely cover the spec item.
So they are probably normative in such cases. The test designer would
use them but it might be the spec and/or TA writer who makes the comments.
Maybe they should be 0..n rather than 0..1
