My reading of the process document would classify such a change as
"Corrections that MAY affect conformance, but add no new features"
http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/tr.html#correction-classes
in which case, this matches exactly the PER process.

I'll bring that to the MWBP (whose next meeting is on Tuesday); I'm
fairly confident there will be support for it; if you have further
indication in terms of the assistance you might need, I'm more likely to
get an answer from the group on that as well.

Thanks a lot for considering my request!
