Not everybody reads the text as you so it is just an interpretation.

I don't belive it is reasonable to create exhaustive list of
exceptions. I prefer the second interpretation of DFSG3.

Notice that:
1. Even GPL places restrictions on the modifications (look at
http://lists.debian.org/debian-vote/2006/01/msg00240.html)
2. If some license says "you are allowed to change the word "foo"
to "bar" or "baz" then this license permits at least two
different modifications.
