SHACL requirements in non-normative parts of the document

[pfps]

There are still aspects of SHACL that appear only in non-normative
(informative) sections of the document. For example, a part of Section
2.1.5 labelled as informative states a requirement on the values of
sh:resultMessage in validation results. This requirement is not stated in
any normative part of the document.

This issue has been previously reported.

I don't see anything non-normative in 2.1.5 that is not also covered by 3.6.2.7 which is normative. Please clarify, also be explicit about which other parts you think are misplaced.

3.2.6.7 does not say what is supposed to be done, just that something should be done, and points to 2.1.5 for more information where the actual generation is only in a non-normative section.

The change is fine.

This is a non-editorial change in that it places more normative conditions on implementations.

That said, the only problem was that the requirement was in a non-normative section of the document so I don't see any reason to hold up further progress because of this issue.
