NVMe describes how protection information works very well. It does not
use "DIX" at all to reference those features. And remember that even
for SCSI DIX is not a normative on the wire protocol, but just an
interface for HBAs on how to allow the host to interact with the actual
wire protocol.

None of which is normative language.
