I have moved all errata and clarifications to http://www.cliki.net/ANSI%20Clarifications%20and%20Errata. These are organized by chapter so browsing them should be a bit easier. I tried to restrict all items under this page to "errors, inconsistencies and ambiguities" in the standard.
I’m sorry, I’m a little confused. This thread, I think, started out with errors in the HyperSpec, but this says ANSI so I’m guessing these are actually errors in that document? Is the belief that there are no differences between the HyperSpec and the ANSI spec, or at least that none of these errors are not present in both?
Yes, that is what I believe. Authorship info in the hyperspec seems to imply that, but it is not explicit:

The earlier page also used the term "ANSI" and not HyperSpec.
