Re: [Ltru] Action items on draft-initial?

That's what I was saying. We don't need 'normative closure'.

Suppose standard A makes a normative reference to standard B, and B makes a
normative reference to C. It is unnecessary (and counterproductive) for A to
make a normative reference to C because of this. That is, it would only be
necessary for A to make a normative reference to C if it needed to
*independent of the requirements of B*.

It really doesn't matter ultimately.

Draft-registry does normatively reference the ISO standards as normative
sources for subtag values.

The instructions in Section 2 of draft-initial refer to the ISO standards
explicitly. The information taken from these standards by draft-initial is
normative. Thus it would be reasonable to put a normative reference to the
ISO standards into draft-initial. But since it doesn't really make any
difference the resulting document. We can make (keep?) the references as
informative and achieve identical results.
