Dear all,
To avoid any confusion, just clearly mention it.
"This appendix is normative | informative"
No need to debate for hours on this.

well established practice.
Hi Tom,
My memory (I haven't checked recently) is there is nothing in or
defined process that says if an Appendix is normative or not. Other
SDOs certainly have formal definitions here. Within the IETF, my view
has been that if an appendix includes RFC2119 language, it is
normative. Actually, strictly speaking, any text in a Standards Track
RFC that doesn't include RFC2119 language is just informative.

Try RFC4910.
' This appendix is normative.'
and not a SHOULD or a MUST in sight.
