But an example is just that, an explanation on a specification rule
which adds nothing to its generic formulation but a clarification,
without covering all possible scenarios, but only the more relevant for
clarification sake, and might be labeled as non-normative. This is what
I meant (specifically a 'logical' separation, not a 'physical'
relocation, as opposit to a whole discarding of use cases). Sorry if I
posted a messed up concept.
