Right, that is what we mean it to be, a hint.  However, I
think its ok to put that in the spec (as long as its clear
that it is not normative).  As the spec is used for
developing, its the best place to have that type of
information.

The users guide should probably be silent on that issue, I
agree.

Cheers, Andre.
