Thanks for the offer, Thierry.

I suspect that most discussion after REC (originally 1999, again 2001) 
happened outside of W3C.  There wasn't a WG to tend to it, but rather Chris 
& I took the mostly completed work from the CGM Open Consortium, and 
fast-tracked it to REC in W3C.

I'm going to put a little more thought into where, if anywhere, 1.0 errata 
may have gotten documented.
