Other than typos, that's true for any changes that might be made now.  
In strict terms, that means that no changes of substance can be made.

It is appealing to seek so pure a goal for the document, but is it

And to the extent there is a challenge in attempting to divine what Ned 
would have agreed with, I suspect there is little doubt he always wanted 
a specification to be as good and as practical as is reasonable.
