[rfc-i] some thoughts about errata

[julian.reschke at gmx.de (Julian Reschke)]

Below are some thoughts about how the errata system could be made more 
useful; note that this isn't about the process but just about the 
information offered by the RFC Editor web site:

1) Each erratum should have a stable URI that can be used for citations.

2) For each RFC, there should be a machine-readable (*) HTTP resource 
(**) offering status information about the set of erratas present for 
that RFC. The minimal information about each erratum would be ID and/or 
URI, status, and the section number it applies to (when available). 
Extra points for date information and maybe a title.

(*) Optimally both JSON and XML. The former is good for JS running in 
browsers, the latter fits better into document production toolchains 
starting with XML anyway.

(**) That implies proper CORS settings so that browsers can actually get 
the information even when the origin of the document is different.
