About this document
This document lists known errata to the Recommendation. Each entry has the following information:

- A classification of the error (e.g., editorial, clarification, bug, known problem with the document itself)
- A short description of the problem and what part of the Recommendation is affected.
- Any proposed corrections and whether those corrections would affect conformance of documents or software
- Any normative corrections; see the section on Errata Management in the W3C Process Document for more information about normative corrections
