We don't tend to distinguish formally between informational and normative references; perhaps we should. In any case, I would expect that any normative references should beat the same maturity level. By normative reference, I mean a reference required to be read and implemented in order to implement the specification's mandatory behaviour. Whether that's the case in this instance I've not looked, because I'm sitting by a pool in Malta. :-) Dave.
