It *is* normative.  It's just that in the case of conflict or ambiguity,
the English takes precedence.  This is as it should be.  I recall
fixing errors in ASN.1 and MIB modules, where the fix was justified
by the fact that the English text captured the WG intent and the
formal notation said something else.  This routinely happens during
MIB review cycles.
