There are always going to be some unavoidable issues with errata, but if we
decided to go down the two-document path (for what is worth I lean toward
this option for several reasons) I think we can ensure that the link to the
errata document is clear enough to not be missed.

In the end, I believe the two approaches can be made equivalent, but making
the errata a different document should ensure, in the long run, that this
kind of edits are very crisp and down to the point, just as Markus' one. If
one reopens a REC document (maybe even bumping the version), there might be
the temptation to squeeze in any number of small edits here and there.

As far as I know this is also the W3C policy, e.g.
