Such statements also are informative, not normative.  The normative 
requirements come from F.3 (the operations shall be the IEC 60559 
operations) and IEC 60559.  A transformation is permitted iff it conforms 
to the normative requirements under the as-if rule of 5.1.2.3.  F.8.2 
gives hints, but they are just hints; you can make a transformation iff 
you can show that it does not change the semantics required by 5.1.2.3, 
F.3 and the other normative requirements.
