(b) seems fine to me.  As a document author, I'd like to know
immediately when people find a mistake, rather than the next time I
think of looking at the bottom of the document.  Do we have any document
authors who are saying they don't have time to deal with the small
number of error reports they get by email?  (If it ain't broke, don't
fix it.)
