I do NOT believe the Normativity of a specification is necesarily the test of
whether it should be on the Recommendation track or not.  The real test for me
is if the owning WG plans to maintain the specification or not.

See Section 7.5 "Ending Work on a Technical Report":
http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/process.html#tr-end 

For example the XML Schema Primer is a W3C Recommendation but obviously that
specification does not contain normative text. 

See XML Schema Primer 2nd Edition as proof that the XML Schema WG actively
maintained this specification:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xmlschema-0-20041028/ 

On the other hand the WS-Policy Primer was published as a WG Note since that WG
explicitly decided it did NOT want to maintain the specification:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/NOTE-ws-policy-primer-20071112/
