Is the requirement that all errata should be addressed in an edited Recommendation too strong?

CLOSED

Description:
This issue was raised by Chris Lilley in email [1].

The basic question is whether it is important to clarify that while a group should address all errata before proposing an edited recommendation, they may propose an edited recommendation while there are outstanding errata in order to provide an improvement in the current Recommendation rather than an unnecessary dealy while the strive for perfection.

Chaals proposes to reject the proposed change as unnecessary in practice: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-w3process/2013Oct/0023.html

(But open to learning that it is important to state this explicitly)
