I support (b), with a caveat.  It would be helpful to label the
significant changes from 822 -- we need a list of such changes in an
Appendix anyway.  If you develop that list as we proceed, it will address
Dan's reasonable desire to find the significant changes without having to
wade through the document.  An alternative would be to label changes from
822 with something like "[change]" in the text so they're easy to find.
