Actually, I created "CLHS Errata" today by copying the contents of the section "Minor corrections to CLHS (errata)" in "Proposed ANSI Revisions and Clarifications" and re-organizing them a bit.
I now see that the section "Clarifications to the current standard" under the latter page also contains some actual erratum, for example,
Issue ERROR-EXAMPLE: Correct the invalid IF form in the (informational) wargames:no-win-scenario example for ERROR.
I can move all errata under this section too to the "CLHS Errata" page and let only proposals/clarifications remain on the other one, if people think it makes sense.

Just keep in mind that some of the items on the CLiki list propose changes (divergences from) current normative ANSI CL requirements, and that others are simply drafted sloppily. These changes would not have automatically passed review under the original X3J13 process, and no one should assume their long life on the CLiki page means they would be uncontroversial.
Yes, and the actual errata was listed at the bottom of that page.
I took all of them and set up a new page, organized by chapter and with proper links:
http://www.cliki.net/CLHS%20Errata
If the community feels this is fine, I will remove the errata section from the earlier page and link to this one instead.

When I reported an error I’d noticed in the HyperSpec to Lispworks three years ago their response pointed me at the CLiki page, so I suspect that is probably the best source of errata available. And, more importantly, that response seems to imply they have no interest in updating the HyperSpec. That said, I remain grateful to them that it is available, even in its ossified form.
