I agree. The separate, but relevant, issue on this is #1080: once the VCDM is stable and all terms have a proper anchor, the vocabulary specification should be systematically changed, removing most of the texts and referring to the VCDM specification itself as a normative source of the description.

I suggest removing all normative verbs from the vocab. Some examples are listed below ...
