Hmm. One can still have considerable (or some) constitutional knowledge and still question the common interpretation. As said earlier, I am not saying that the common interpretation is not correct, just finding it interesting that the Dutch and Norwegian constitutions, which don't mention the possibility of renunciation, still are (or can be said to be) viewed differently. Of course two very different countries with different constitutional history and practice, although similarities can be found. As far as I know (I haven't looked into it yet) only T.H. Aschehoug says it is possible for a Norwegian king or dynast to abdicate/renounce, but the history backs him up, although the circumstances in 1814 and 1905 were extraordinary.

Examples?
