Consider normative vs informative for term definitions #28

Closed alvestrand closed 8 years ago

alvestrand commented 8 years ago

From Ben Campbell's IESG review:

Please consider whether the references to rtcweb-overview, RFC 4595, and RFC 7656 should be normative references. They are cited for definition of terms used in this document; if those definitions are needed to fully understand this document, they should be normative. (IMHO, these are borderline).

alvestrand commented 8 years ago

Earlier discussions have shown a preference for a) keeping terminology in -overview, and b) keeping references to -overview informational, to avoid the "all must be done before anything is done" problem.

Treating definitions consistently seems reasonable to me. Agree that it's borderline. Advice sought.

After mulling on the matter, moving these to normative in -16.
