In RFC 8949 4.2.2 Rule 2 is a "friendly advice".  I.e. non-normative.
In draft-ietf-cbor-cde-08 the same text is "stronger" but still non-normative.  No SHOULD or MUST in sight.
That is, CDE effectively MUST be accompanied by a derived document in order to provide a normative deterministically encoding standard.
Since dCBOR is the only derived CDE document, dCBOR effectively becomes the norm.

Not that I actually care about CDE, but this situation appears pretty absurd seen from my watchtower.
