I understand what you mean, but I admit that I have mixed feelings. I
had hoped that we could use them to eventually tie changes back to the
section and in some vaguely defined way that would allow us to
automatically recreate the original text. We would still have a lot of
work to do even if we keep the ERRTAG comments, but they might speed
up the work. In balance, if it's interfering with our current work,
it's hard to justify keeping them around for the sake of something we
might do sometime.
