@LinguList I do not think we can include these norms, as they are protected by APA - for some uses, one is not allowed to republish them at all, for including some of the tables on a website, they ask money

We can of course cite them, that is not a problem, I am just not sure what exact use would NoRaRe or including them in Conception be classified as.
