What is a "normative addendum"?

What insane asylum added digraphs to the existing trigraph mess, and
also said that the "difficult" characters have to exist anyway?  What's
the point of trigraphs and digraphs then?

What fool made these identifiers ("or", "ne", ...) reserved?  "If you
want PL/I ..." and all that.  (Designing a language from scratch, I
would have used "and", "or", et cetera.  But C didn't, but now we have
both.)
