Regarding the different language: The wording of the two paragraphs in
17.5 we are talking about differs between the OASIS ODF 1.0 standard,
and the OASIS ODF 1.0 2nd edition, which is the same as ISO 26300. The
current draft lists the wording of the 2nd edition/ISO 26300. If that is
the concern, we can

a) omit the original language, and just refer to "the first paragraph
behind the list in section 17.5", etc.
b) include the text from the OASIS standard, with a note how this reads
in the 2nd edition.

Both suggestion should resolve that issue.

Regarding the different RFCs: The OASIS standard contains a reference to
§5 of RFC2396. The 2nd edition/ISO 26300 contains a reference to
RFC3987, which turned out to be problematic. We are now resolving that
by a dual reference to RFC3986 (which is the successor of RFC2396) and
RFC3987. Why do you think this is an issue, in particular, since we are
not referencing RFC3986 in general, but a specific definition in a section?

I disagree on that. I think the issues are technically resolved, and the
editorial issue how to handle the situation that the text between ODF
1.0 and ODF 1.0 2nd edition differs should be resolvable as well.

I disagree on that as well. We have deferred this in the first errata
although we had a proposal how to resolve this. I don't want to defer
this one more time.

The current draft for ODF 1.2 already contains a rewrite of this
section. However, that goes in my opinion beyond what I would like to
change in an errata document.

Best regards
