This gets into a whole lot of discussion around whether the information model is informational or not, something that has already happened in the WG and when that document came up in front of IESG (I think). I believe the decision was to keep the information model as informative.

I have therefore kept the reference as Informative. If I try to move it into the Normative part of the reference section, I get a downref error.

Cheers.
