I find it extremely doubtful that it "will be normatively defined."
Especially, since UTF-1 is only an informative annex.  I would expect
other UTF-* to also be informative, and not normative.

Of course, a usage profile might wish to make it normative, but that would be
outside the scope of 10646.
