The question is how to do these things.

- we could decide to fix (b) and not (a)

- this draft could be enhanced to do both

- this draft could be left as is, and an errata filed against
   3261 regarding (a)

- we could leave this draft as is and submit another draft
   to fix (a).

Ecrit *needs* a way to add a new value, so they need (b) *soon*.
AFAIK nobody is currently suffering for lack of a fix for (a).

If we could do (a) *quickly* then doing them both in the same draft 
would be attractive. I just fear that we might end up squabbling for a 
long time of this mundane thing. If so, then I think the errata approach 
for (a) is more attractive.
