https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-core/#normative-references

Leaving aside our recommendation that this should actually point to 
BCP47, this reference should be normative in order to ensure 
interoperability.  See for example, 
https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-core/#naturalLanguageValues 
which says

> Every key in the object form MUST be a well-formed [RFC5646] 
Language-Tag.

(Note that this reference is a normative reference in 
https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#normative-references)
