Why an errata page?

Out of curiosity,
  Why is the HTML spec kept live, online, with errors, and a separate errata
page?

The spec mentions the electronic version's authoritativeness in differences
between the published spec and the electronic one... could you perhaps
provide PDF's / Flat text files of the spec with all the latest found errata
corrected?
