The last paragraph in the section defines how to handle this. If the
text or the organization of the paragraphs is confusing, then the text
should be changed so it's not confusing. Marking some sentences as not
normative is unlikely to do that; it would be better to move the para-
graph at the bottom before the example, for instance.
