Section 11 says:

Original Text
-------------
A definition in a published module may be revised in any of the
   following ways:

   o  An "enumeration" type may have new enums added, provided the old
      enums's values do not change.  Note that inserting a new enum
      before an existing enum or reordering existing enums will result
      in new values for the existing enums, unless they have explicit
      values assigned to them.

Corrected Text
--------------
A definition in a published module may be revised in any of the
   following ways:

   o  The "revision-date" substatement of an existing "import" statement 
      may get a changed argument.


   o  An "enumeration" type may have new enums added, provided the old
      enums's values do not change.  Note that inserting a new enum
      before an existing enum or reordering existing enums will result
      in new values for the existing enums, unless they have explicit
      values assigned to them.

Notes
-----
In section 5.1.1 it is stated that a module may be republished with an updated 
"import" 
statement. This is needed, otherwise a user of the revision-date statement 
(inside an import) would never be able to migrate to a newer version of the 
imported module.

However in section 11.  Updating a Module   this change is not listed in the 
list of allowed updates, thus it is forbidden.

Verifier's Note: §5.1.1 already explicitly covers republishing a module with an 
updated import statement. The omission from §11 does not prohibit this action, 
and the claim (in the Notes section) that it prevents migration is incorrect — 
unpinned imports resolve automatically to the latest revision (which contains 
the new enum definition), and pinned imports are updated as a deliberate new 
publication already sanctioned by §5.1.1. No gap exists that requires 
correction.
