Thus I would expect something similar to Mike's document to be normative for markup, and informative where it make reference to other aspects of "A vocabulary and associated APIs for HTML and XHTML". And I would expect other documents to be similarly divided : normative for the single topic that they specifically address, informative for topics that the author finds it necessary to cross-reference.
