> I finished the document now and really like it. I just think the normative part comes quite late in the document. Maybe it should also be referenced in earlier sections. To make it stronger, you could even use SHOULD instead of RECOMMENDED (in section 8.2), I guess

  SHOULD and RECOMMENDED are synonyms for this purpose.

  I left the normative bits to the end because I wanted to explain the problem, and then give examples of the solution first.  Once those are clear, they then motivate the normative text.

  I found that if I put the normative text earlier, then people would ask "why these decisions?", only to have them answered later in the document.
