That I certainly agree with, and that's also required by the ISO
directives. This is what the "Normative References" element is for.

Not really. I'm not sure there is a difference between your first and
second case. I think XTM, TMCL, and TMQL all relate to TMDM in the
same way. 

Or did you mean that while there may be no practical difference there
is a formal difference since XTM belongs to 13250, while TMCL and TMQL
do not? If that's your point I'm with you.

I think the solution chosen for 8879 with regards to clauses 5 and 6
is what we want in both cases, regardless of whether they are the same
or different.
