I added a sentence stating that incompatible changes to syntax or
semantics require a new version number, which seems kind of obvious.
Beyond that, it's pretty much impossible to say whether a change is
compatible without knowing the details of a particular proposed
change, so I see little to be gained in hypothetical discussion.

If you need something more than this, please send text or point to an
example of what you want (and, with respect, a hint at what it's
intended to accomplish), because at this point I do not have a clue.

Oops, sorry.  Done.

No current plan to extend the set of error reasons.

I assume you meant section 4, since I don't think IANA publishes
Security Considerations.  Draft -11 had already added [[RFCxxxx]] to
the media type template in the IANA Considerations section, per your
earlier instructions, and there are no section numbers in the media
type template.  Am I missing something here?

Given the impending dreadline, I posted -12.  If this is close enough,
cool, otherwise tell me what to do and we'll fix it.
