Best Practices or Requirements? #2976

Description

@reidmore-online

Section

https://w3c.github.io/epub-specs/epub34/annotations/#best-practices-for-reading-systems

Describe the problem

In the best practices section, there are a number of statements that sound normative (as mentioned in issue #2974). Some of these may not need to be normative, but others seem like they should be.

Some examples:
https://w3c.github.io/epub-specs/epub34/annotations/#exporting-annotations-as-a-detached-file

They MAY enter a title for the annotation set (empty by default). Such a title SHOULD become the exported filename.

They MUST be able to choose the directory in which the annotation set will be stored.

The file extension MUST be .annotation .

It might be helpful for reading systems to have normative, consistent requirements in implementing annotations, in addition to best practices, but I would like input from reading systems!
