 In this document, the semantics of a JSONPath query define the
 required results and do not prescribe the internal workings of an
 implementation.  This document may describe semantics in a procedural
-step-by-step fashion, but such descriptions are normative only in the sense that any implementation MUST produce an identical result, but not in the sense that implementors are required to use the same algorithms.
