In this section, one bullet is:

"If the document has previously been published as a Candidate
Recommendation, must document the changes since the previous
Candidate Recommendation, "

It is not clear to me how this differs from the general requirement:

"must provide public documentation of all substantive changes to
the technical report since the previous publication. The community
also appreciates public documentation of minor changes."

You might have something specific in mind, but as written I can't
determine the difference. Or if the difference is "documenting all
changes" instead of "documenting substantive changes" then I'm not
sure that difference is necessary to justify the specific bullet.
If the consensus ends up being that it is necessary, then I think the
difference from the general bullet needs to be clearer.

The difference is documenting *all* changes, vs a must for substantive and a should for other changes...

It is not clear that the difference is important enough to keep the special requirement.
