I'll have to think about this.
I liked having it be a non-normative part of the spec, because it establishes rules about how the API can evolve. If nothing else, it provides a non-normative explanation of why we throw a TypeError when the dictionary passed to share() is empty (for future-proofing) which I think is important to capture in the spec proper.
If we are removing this, we should at least add a note to share() why this is the case (it is non-obvious why it should be valid to pass unrecognised keys, but an error to pass no recognised keys, but it is by design).

If this is going to go in a separate, informal, document, then:
- It should go in /docs.
- I think it should just be a plain Markdown file (like the other informal docs in that directory), rather than a Respec-formatted doc.
