Martin,

My suggestion is that by limiting the
extent of normative sections the amount of work to get the normative text
in shape will be that much less.

This is largely a debate about the amount
of work to do.  The more text, the more work.  After our experiences
with Issue 6 in Assembly, I'm minded
to keep the extent of normative text to the absolute minimum.



Yours,  Mike.

I really don't know what to suggest
here. However big or small a normative section is, we will still have to
find alternatives for must, may, should etc.
