Actually, I created "CLHS Errata" today by copying the contents of the
section "Minor corrections to CLHS (errata)" in "Proposed ANSI
Revisions and Clarifications" and re-organizing them a bit.

I now see that the section "Clarifications to the current standard"
under the latter page also contains some actual erratum, for example,

  Issue ERROR-EXAMPLE: Correct the invalid IF form in the
(informational) wargames:no-win-scenario example for ERROR.

I can move all errata under this section too to the "CLHS Errata" page
and let only proposals/clarifications remain on the other one, if
people think it makes sense.
