I agree.

Many specifications have an "errata" link from their status section  
when they have reached recommendation maturity level.
e.g http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/
see also http://www.w3.org/TR/#Recommendations

Others, while the spec is still work in progress, link to a list of  
known issues
e:g http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/WD-xinclude-20000717#open-issues

I am not aware of a written rule that forces working group to have  
such links. That could be a suggestion to greatly enhance 1) the QA  
process for the specs and 2) the messaging that there *is* a quality  
process...

Karl, this is worth taking to the chairs, no?
