One 
certainly could mark sections as informative and normative and make the RFC2119 
rules apply only to normative sections, but I really don't see why we 
have to go through this. I have always been able to find a substitute, and I 
think with a bit of practice we can all get the hang of things. Maybe you can 
provide a sample that you think is not translatable and I'll try and write an 
equivalent. Otherwise I remain unconvinced.
 
Martin.

Preserved under the OASIS Open Mailing List Archives Preservation Initiative.

Message text and metadata preserved from source records; presentation regenerated to restore navigation (as of April 2026).
MarkMail, a mailing-list search service launched by MarkLogic in 2007 as a showcase for its XML full-text search engine, indexed these OASIS archives for many years. It was retired in 2024 following MarkLogic’s acquisition by Progress Software; markmail.org is offline and any markmail.org links in archived messages are no longer functional.
