I think it would be useful for each approved change to have a document
detailing the changes to be made to the CF spec. This document could be
referenced by the test data documents. As it stands, we have the trac
ticket discussions which can be very voluminous and even after approval
aren't always clear what exact changes to the specification are to be made.

Perhaps the closing comment to the trac ticket should be a detailed
change request. Though I think a separate (wiki?) document would be more
useful (both during the trac ticket discussion and afterwards for
documentation purposes).
