Often on SO (and elsewhere) I have seen the claim that notes and examples in the C++ Standard are not normative - I have probably made this claim myself a few times
This is generic for all ISO standard documents:
An example integrated in the text of a document, used for giving additional information intended to assist the understanding or use of the document. In ISO standards, examples are without exception non-normative.
A similar clause applies to notes:
A note integrated in the text of a document, used for giving additional information intended to assist the understanding or use of the document. In ISO standards, notes are without exception non-normative.
