I think so, I haven't found a definition of informative in the DOM 
specification but for instance the document
   http://www.w3.org/TR/UAAG10/glossary.html
which is a glossary in an unrelated W3C report says

What is identified as "normative" is required for conformance (noting 
that one may conform in a variety of well-defined ways to this 
document). What is identified as "informative" (sometimes, 
"non-normative") is never required for conformance.
