w3process-ISSUE-155 (Errata Access in RECs): Errata access from TR page [Process Document]

Raised by: Steve Zilles
On product: Process Document

This issue arose because, in the original discussion of Issue-141 Errata Management [0], some of the commenters (and, in particular, Fantasai [1]) noted that people (whether users or developers or implementers) were going to the REC (via the TR pages) and getting out of date information.

The goal of this issue is to find solutions associating a REC and its Errata that both (1) make it easy and natural for someone retrieving the REC document to find the most up-to-date document (including Errata) and (2) preserve the necessary permanence of a REC. (Here, “necessary permanence” is intended to mean what the community thinks is necessary to insure is preserved; we already allow updates to things like broken links in place so permanence does not mean bit by bit fidelity.)
