I believe these 2 references need to be Normative, as they are required to 
understand this document.
True, but this is an informational document, so why would any references be 
normative?
This is something we spoke about in the working group, and you answered me the 
same way. I think he's not saying (and I was not saying then) that the 
references are normative for the Internet. They're saying that, unlike an 
informative reference (which may give you a deeper understanding but for most 
of the document are optional reading), you can't understand this document if 
you don't understand those two.

Correct. And that is the definition of a Normative reference.
