4279. §[fs.op.absolute] Non-normative encouragement should be Recommended practiceSection: 31.12.13.2 [fs.op.absolute] Status: New Submitter: Jonathan Wakely Opened: 2025-06-16 Last modified: 2025-06-21

Discussion:
[fs.op.absolute] has a note giving strong encouragement, which should be normative:
[Note 3: Implementations are strongly encouraged to not query secondary storage, and not consider
!exists(p)an error. — end note]
The part about !exists(p) not being an error could definitely be a Recommended practice paragraph. Referring to "secondary storage" might need to be phrased differently to be normative (maybe with a note clarifying that the normative wording is referring to "secondary storage").
