    Greetings!

    In TOSCA notes appears to be used in normative as well as informative
    tasks. Notes are traditionally non-normative.

    Notes are not offset typographically from the rest of the text. That
    would make it easier to spot notes, as opposed to normative text.

    On the mixed use of "Note:" I have reported the line numbers (where
    more than one line number, block of text) and based on RFC 2119
    keywords guessed if they were normative or informative.

    Some of my guesses on informative are probably *wrong* because they
    state assumptions based on lack of data. I don't know what impact, if
    any, those assumptions have on processing. Could well be normative in
    some cases as well.

    2530 - informative

    2629 - 2633 - normative

    2763 - MUST NOT - normative

    2770 - informative

    48 cases of "Note:"

    The word "Note," appears in prose, twice for normative statements and
    four times for what appear to be informative statements.

    Need to make normative statements outside of notes or implied notes
    and informative statement in proper notes with NOTE: and appropriate
    typography.

    459 - reporting a MUST

    1101 - informative?

    1245 - normative

    2970 - informative?

    2999 - informative?

    3019 - informative?

    Hope everyone is having a great day!
