You can't do that. If it's just a statement that hasn't seen a GR, fine, then the -www team can change it. If, however, the text was decided by GR, then that's a different matter; you can't change it without another GR. Remember 2004_003? (gawd, is it that long ago already? oh well). That was about changes that according to the proposers did not change the meaning of the original text, but rather just 'clarified' it; yet it has had an enormous impact on the project as a whole, and in fact changed some of our policies.
