Description


In the remodeling of specification guidelines, one of the practice was recommending to put the 
normative language definition in the conformance section. Does the normative language should be 
defined under the conformance clause and only the conformance clause.


Good Practice: In the conformance clause, define how normative language is expressed.



It is not decided if it should be finally suppressed with a rewording of the another section or kept as it 
is.




Comment


Lofton Henderson: support the idea that it could stay where it is, as long as there is a link to it from the 
Conformance Clause.


Dominique Hazaël Massieux: mean how "conformance requirements are expressed"; I don't know what 
we would mean by "normative language", e.g. how does "normative language" relate to "normative 
content" - http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-qa-wg/2004Aug/0083.html
