Re: what's normative [was: Re: processing plan for SpecGL LC issues]

Now that everyone has had a chance to think and read some discussion (from 
Lofton and me), my first order of business on this issue is to reaffirm 
that we like our definition of normative.   I agree with Lofton, about 
leaving the definition as is.


Food for thought.....

Good question.  I read it as section 1.7.  But, it really doesn't matter, 
since we should address both cases.  For section 1.7,  it is not normative 
(if we stick with last week's agreement).   As for the priorities 
themselves as associated with each checkpoint - I think that they need to 
be normative, since they have conformance consequences, in that they 
identify what belongs in A, AA, AAA.  Thus, the Checkpoint is normative as 
is the Conformance Requirement statement(s).
