the whole specification would have to be made normative and then certain sections could be marked as draft/trial the extensions will never be normative as a whole these are not breaking changes to our breaking change rules; while we can have a longer term discussion about how we describe what's going on, the rules that we made are not breaking changes; references to extensions are version neutral the update policy we made is necessary and required we will discuss making  some extensions explicitly normative how to manage that procedurally will need to be discussed with TSC note that we are going to take up the question of making some things explicitly normative
