RE: [P1800] Dealing with "Editorial changes"

Yes, it my understanding that the changes to the next draft are limited to: 

a) Corrections to how the editor (me) implemented change instructions in
drafts 7 and 7a (this does NOT include corrections to the change
instructions; it only covers corrections to how I implemented the
instructions).

b) Corrections to spelling, punctuation, fonts, and cross references.

c) Any changes the IEEE requests as part of their review of draft 7a in
preparation for balloting.

I am under the impression that any errors that are found in either the LRM
or any of the change instructions should now be filed as new mantis items.
If an error is critical, those that vote on the standard can note that the
error needs to be corrected as part of their ballot.
