Normative / non-normative references are currently in an Appendix.

See OData Part 1 for a practical example: http://docs.oasis-open.org/odata/odata/v4.0/errata02/os/complete/part1-protocol/odata-v4.0-errata02-os-part1-protocol-complete.html#_Toc406398196 In place of the current organization of the first few sections, I strongly recommend going with an organization like: 1 Introduction 1.1 Terminology 1.2 References 1.3 Typographical Conventions Where the Normative and Non-Normative References would go (in place of the Appendix) and what is now under "Conformance" would go under Typographical Conventions. The labels are suggestions. This however would address several of the comments.
