A concern I have about examples has been my past experience where folks have over interpreted them. The thing about examples is that they may appeal to people's intuitions and that is risky in a normative spec. Do you have a specific need for normative examples or are you suggesting in general that they are a 'good thing'. I guess I'm not clear why they have to be normative. Brian
