Maybe I'm reading 4.2.2 differently then; I certainly have the ability to 
read narrowly ;-) 

1: "typically" occurs in a sentence containing zero 2119 keywords, which 
leads me to think that sentence is incapable of placing any normative 
requirements on anything. 

2: "typically" itself signals to me that, even if this sentence were 
normative, it would not be MUST-strength and therefore it would not give 
clients anything new to *rely* on.

If others are interpreting the second sentence of 4.2.2 as normative, we 
probably have another issue to resolve; and as you'd no doubt guess from 
the text above, I'd likely propose making it non-normative in a more 
visibly recognizable way.

wrt 5.2.6, I think you're correct that its presence is a good foil to 
4.2.2.  It's a good demonstration of why I was careful to say we'd keep 
any text we changed to non-normative.
