Hi John,

Perfect!  And I also see "with errata" links on the Datatracker pages too.  Strange that I've never noticed them before...did they get added recently?


> The regular HTML version has red "Errata Exist" at the top so you know to look for them.

Right, this is what I'm familiar with, but it's always a slog to parse through the Errata.  What's new (to me) is that the very-top line of the browser window now has a "with errata" link...this was the missing piece.


> Take a look.

I still think that the "with errata" version should be displayed by default or, better, a popup that says "A version with Errata-fixes applied is available, would you like to see it instead?" - thoughts?
