Errata#

This page is hand-written

It is the one page in the Specification tier that is not generated from spec/SPEC.md. An erratum is a record about a published document, not a clause of it.

Status#

No errata have been raised against v1.0.

An erratum is not the same thing as a known limitation. The limitations of v1.0 are in the specification itself, at §18 — they are stated, deliberate, and correct as published. An erratum records text that is wrong.

The record#

One section per published version, and one entry per correction:

Field Content
Id E-<version>-<nn>
Clause The clause the correction applies to
Reported Date, and by whom
Defect What the published text says, quoted
Correction What it should say
Impact Whether a conforming implementation must change

Rules#

  • An erratum never renumbers anything. A number released in a tagged version is permanent.
  • An erratum fixes wording, closes an ambiguity, or records a clarification. A change to the wire grammar is not an erratum; it is a protocol version bump, and it needs exceptional justification.
  • Each erratum links to the pull request that applied it.
