ANSI/ISO distinguishes editorial and technical changes as well. I agree the separation isn't always obvious, but it is an important enough distinction that various groups try to handle it in various ways.

Would that no longer be allowed (meaning, would that type of editing to a ballot require the restart of a new seven day discussion period)? In the IETF, when similar situations happen, there is often disagreement about whether this one little change is editorial or has technical effects. However, that disagreement often comes up a few days after the change was made, making reverting difficult if other changes have been made subsequently. The draft numbering scheme in the IETF looks arcane and nerdy, but it has made it easier to see when an editorial change is actually a technical change and cleanly revert it. I don't know if that would work in the CABForum. --Paul Hoffman _______________________________________________ Public mailing list [email protected] https://clicktime.symantec.com/a/1/miNdQmFyO3bPVos2Qms0Lg4rLATeUNcVtoYveH08A 2A=?d=Ryw4Ods8hDlIuwAOmyx2dwbjSei70d55Eu8WnU6rH5-BP0dgJPeGH4Ct2HCLGLmdwftKxC EQ5-KQ851z3pzRV4EAkNFoypO3SMLMNvToMatWfox3H9BC72cvKHXAMWZuoERb9DYv78uzGRalNz TVANv-YteYpeUfEKAs-4HG0NUlEe07PxfzjfUpAgMM78w6WOlilxKzCVNP7hsJByZRMtrcqYmSX5 u_w5O2XOMjnTPslMZDz5KeEZMyuU29kYY_YSKhiiiJPQku-qAIeDv1XSVfvJ7O0JRopx7ixmCL32 zGrwERQmmTjeUa-uWG4AJISy7RScF9zNAD8AFwcwyJzhbOF1s0RzqEXl6PaW4ekFk7kqLRElmwa3 GsH65W7x1pulECUiXO6Puz1kQ9kQoPjwEISEEsBJcGFPnb&u=https%3A%2F%2Fcabforum.org% 2Fmailman%2Flistinfo%2Fpublic
