I agree with Thomas and I don't see this as 'RIPE bashing' merely as  
an attempt to keep things simple and avoid lengthy debates on  
something trivial, especially in this case where the pros and cons  
should be raised in the IETF.

You have a point there and it we might call it an oversight in the PDP  
to not be able to handle small changes in formatting or typos without  
going through the whole process again. So for the sake of it all,  
let's adopt this change using the current proces and focus the  
discussion on how to handle such changes in the future. I don't expect  
it to happen much, but the way you put it a small cosmetic error can  
result in going over a lenghty discussion again and might be a tool to  
bend things differently by the need to reach consensus again.
