[SZ] The bar for issuing errata is having put a pointer to an errata page in the original REC.
  http://www.w3.org/2014/Process-20140801/#errata 
The catch with this is that such errata does not become Normative until an Edited Recommendation is approved by the AC. 
  http://www.w3.org/2014/Process-20140801/#revised-rec 
That was done to insure that the AC approved all RECs (whether initial or edited) and that appropriate Calls for (Patent) Exclusions take place. Is it this last piece that you find overly burdensome? If so, what would you suggest instead?
