    It appears to me that this document merely describes a language, such that
    when a formula of the language is well formed, when evaluated against a
    specific valid input, yields a consistent result.
    
    What the PEP does with that result is up to the PEP. This advice should be
    non-normative. The normative part should only outline the specific manner
    in which obligations are collected in a particular way, according to the
    language, and delivered in the result.
    
    Cheers,
