Michael,

I'm not sure I understand this question:

"But if we [state the errata against the ODF 1.0 OASIS standard], where is
the difference between informally listing page and line numbers, which may
refer to a text that differs between ODF 1.0 and ISO 26300, and listing the
differing text itself?"

I think there is probably no difference, but I want to make sure I
understand the case you have in mind.  Can you provide an example where this
is the case?

 - Dennis

Nothing has changed since when. But I'd like to clarify that the errata 
of cause must not normatively list text from ODF 1.0 2nd edition, but 
from the ODF 1.0 OASIS standard. That needs to be changed in the current 
draft before we can approve it as an errata.

But if we do so, where is the difference between informally listing page 
and line numbers, which may refer to a text that differs between ODF 1.0 
and ISO 26300, and listing the differing text itself?
