I'm told there is more flexibility than before at that level in particular.

Errata may be enough but that's not my point. The "final" transposition 
would be editorial in nature.

The process for PAS is simple: Yes or No vote, with comments that we 
have to reply to, even if we get 100% yes (which is what we had so far 
for Web Services and WCAG). At any point in the ballot, we can decide to 
withdraw the candidate.

That's not what I meant. The right forum to discuss the value of PAS 
(not wrt XMLS) is the AC forum I suppose. This document just presents 
the reasons for doing it and some criteria to apply before doing it.
