The reason I would like to avoid that is demarcation between IETF and CABForum. Since it is Prague next week, I can ask the ADs if they have concerns. They may not but if I was them, I would.

Is there a reason not to simply include the errata text as an Appendix to the BRs (thus ensuring the necessary IP protections as well), and then remove that once/if the CAA document is updated?
This seems clearer and with one less dependency - namely, on the CABForum website.
