Normative status of "5. The User-Agent String" is unclear

[gsnedders]

What is the issue with the Compatibility Standard?

https://compat.spec.whatwg.org/#ua-string-section seems to mostly describe the status quo, per its description:

This section serves as a descriptive record of the User-Agent patterns found in the so-called major web browsers

It would probably be good to explicitly mark this as informative? (e.g., via Bikeshed's informative classes)

I mean the alternative is to make this fully normative, and require implementations to use specific user agent strings (presumably tied to the navigator compatibility mode), but that seems like it would be a much more substantive change than what I believe the current intention is?
