> Yes it had exactly that affect.

The reference to ”illustration”, ”example“, “author guideline”, "note" etc may
also cause uncertainty in the reader about whether he/she will manage to
understand whether a particular part of the spec falls under those labels and
thus is not normative. A reference to ”sections marked this and that way" (e.g.
“sections marked as non-normative”) would not create such uncertainty.
