That would actually be a really nice enhancement.   It could be the rule that if no reference says, it’s normative, if all references either don’t say or say normative, it’s normative, if all don’t say or say informative, it’s informative, and if some say normative and some say informative, it’s informative.   The idea being that some references to the same document may be normative and some informative, and it makes sense to be able to signal that in the XML.  Maybe every reference should say, but I’m sure that would be a pain.

It would also be nice if the publication date could default to “today” and if the draft number could be determined automatically based on what is most recent…
