Hi Paul,

I see where you're coming from, and
I think I agree with you, but...

If a standard is to be of use to implementors,
there needs to be some explanation about expected processing, otherwise
it can happen that there isn't enough context for implementors to understand
what the feature is for.

Other standards manage this by using
RFC 2119's MAY, SHOULD, MUST, etc., stating that "This section is
normative" or "This section is informative".  It doesn't
seem that DITA 1.1 does this (yet).

I'm happy to tag the normative vs. informative
bits for #12035 if people think that it's worthwhile.
