Not sure what you mean here (and not just about being clever!:) )? There is a pointer to errata…  
http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets/errata.html
  
It's right at the top of the document? What am I missing?

Ah, sorry… SoTD was from the editor's draft. I need to find a boilerplate for a PER. I'm going to copy the one from XML 5th Ed., but it's a bit of work so I'll do it RSN.

I will only link to "stable" versions for normative references - informative references don't matter.  

Re editors: can't find anything in the process document that requires them to be added. Of course, you are more than invited to add them yourself to the spec if you really want. They were in the REC, so you can copy/paste them from there (or email me the markup and I'll paste them in for you). However, I see no use case for including them given that there is a hyperlink to their spec (which already lists them).  

Kind regards,
Marcos
