Entity Capabilities are important to avoid lookups. But they are only an optimization on top of XEP-30. Most XEPs have no hard dependency on Entity Capabilities, i.e. the protocols also work using ordinary XEP-30 lookups, and therefore don't require to mention it as normative reference. Great work on XEP-301 btw. :) - Florian
