However, I wonder: The standard seems to be 2) "normal". However, let's say "Jaws [directed by] Spielberg" would now be normal, I assume, but it is currently valid and can't outdate (only be wrong if it turns out to be actually directed by his twin brother or so), so should it be 1) "preferred"?
The distinction between normal and preferred doesn't really apply in such cases. That's why we have the notion of statements having the "default" rank: if there are preferred statements, they are the default. If there are no deferred statements, the normal statements are the default.
Statements with the default rank are the once we use per default in queries and infoboxes.
Basically, the interpretation of the normal rank changes when a preferred statement is present. That's a bit confusing to model nicely, but in practice, it's quite intuitive to work with. I haven't heard any serious complaints about this semantics. Few people know about it explicitly, but few people seem to see anythign wrong with how this behaves.
