I have discussed this with the relevant Policy wonks, and the
consensus is that that would be a Bad Idea, as it would provoke Patent
Policy hassles.  The proposed alternative is to publish a public
Editor's Draft, linked from the errata page as a sort of omnibus draft
erratum, with a SoTD saying something along the lines of

  This is a public Editor's Draft, published to encourage review of
  the proposed restructuring of this document.  Since the changes are
  in the nature of corrections for errata, after public review and
  possible further modifications in light of comments received, the
  group expects to request publication as a PER.
