If that's achieved through an errata - I'm fine with that :) I do think that both minor edits and mentioning new/updated RFC numbers is appropriate as errata though.
To avoid having the RIPE document number become carved in stone across the whole planet, maybe we should encourage the use of something like "RIPE-554 or the latest version" (depending on context - a specific tender probably should not use that, but a guideline document probably should).
When reading "RIPE-544 or the latest version" - actually versioning comes to my mind. We could potentially edit the document further, do erratas and when we reach a consensus that it's good enough for that point in time we issue a version of the document. RIPE-554.1 :) I know that this may impact bigger mechanism of documents organization for the whole RIPE community - or maybe not. It's up to community to decide if we can allow exceptions like this and use different approach just for exceptions. Cheers, Jan
