Real web developers rarely if ever understand the meaning of the term "normative" nor necessarily the distinction being drawn. This concept, in my opinion, is not useful to us as we try to produce a usable spec. I'd like to see the justification for designating parts of our document as "we really mean it" and others as "we might not really mean it." What useful purpose could that possibly serve? --Kynn -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@reef.com> Technical Developer Liaison Reef North America Accessibility - W3C - Integrator Network ________________________________________ BUSINESS IS DYNAMIC.
