I'm pretty flexible on this point. We obviously need some way
to indicate that a ref is normative but I don't much care how.
I do believe that it needs to be associated with the reference
in the text and not with the bib entry, since the bib is
shared (by design) and some bib entries are normative with
respect to one i-d and informative with respect to another.
