As far as I understand the CG cannot *take over* errata, nor can it bin  
the Web Apps group, who are bound by their charter that is made by W3C and  
formally agreed by members.

I suggest that you phrase the relevant bits as "will provide input on  
errata, ..." - it enables the same stuff.

I'm not happy about the idea of a specification not being allowed to have  
a version number - in particular this interferesseriously with the notion  
of "done" and what you do next. Even worse is not being able to put a date  
there - it's actually important to be able to review changes through time,  
which means you need some notion of how to address things, and this seems  
to prohibit it, which strikes me as unnecessary bureaucracy.

I'd like to see the charter say that drafts *must* be kept on W3C systems  
- someone telling me I have to log into some third-party service (which  
might well be a competitor's proprietary system that I would choose not to  
use) seems to me unacceptable for a community group.
