Take a tour through the eleven parts of Section 7 of RFC5451, and then
Appendices A and C. They provide all kinds of warnings about
misinterpreting the data provided, which amounts to pretty firm
implementation advice, and identifies ways you can shoot yourself in the
foot. But none of those sections are normative. (Actually there are two
SHOULDs in 7.4, but in retrospect they shouldn't really be there.)
That's what I'm advocating here: The normative stuff defines the core
mechanics of the protocol itself, and the informative stuff explains why
it's done that way, detailed implementation advice including stuff about
other layers, and how one should (and shouldn't) interpret the output.
