[cabfpub] [Ext] Ballot XXX: Update Discussion Period

[Tim Hollebeek]

ANSI/ISO distinguishes editorial and technical changes as well.  I agree the
separation isn't always obvious, but it is an important enough distinction
that various groups try to handle it in various ways.

In the IETF, when similar situations happen, there is often disagreement
about whether this one little change is editorial or has technical effects.
However, that disagreement often comes up a few days after the change was
made, making reverting difficult if other changes have been made
subsequently. The draft numbering scheme in the IETF looks arcane and nerdy,
but it has made it easier to see when an editorial change is actually a
technical change and cleanly revert it. I don't know if that would work in
the CABForum.
