12 I think it'd be common sense to post -r1, -r2 etc, and extend the XML
13 syntax so that we could easily indicate which sentences had been
14 changed. I think it'll make things easier than a
15 read-GLEP-39-now-read-GLEPs-39a-to-39z type of approach.

17 We could also have a 'Revisions' section somewhere (if we don't have
18 one already) in the GLEP listing the date, a link to the Council
19 meeting logs approving the change, and a (very) brief summary of the
20 change.
21
22 I'm sure there are other ways we could do this that would also be practical.

24 Best regards,
