I've wondered at such references in the W3C specs, and excuse my ignorance, but what do "normative" and "non-normative" mean?

Two of the non-normative design principles of XSL (Appendix D) are: - XSL should support browsing, printing, and interactive editing and design tools ... - XSL should provide the formatting functionality of at least DSSSL and CSS I expect a lot of serious XML users want to use their XML for both print and display, plus I expect that people's perception of what's "good enough" when printing something that they got off the Web will change over time, rather like dot-matrix wasn't "good enough" after laser printers with scalable fonts became widely available.
