Changing the meaning isn't fixing a typo.  If fixing a typo changes
the meaning of the protocol, it is no longer a "good-faith" typo fix.

There may be edge cases, but I'd say that if a "typo fix" leads to
even minor technical differences, it isn't a "typo fix" anymore, but
must be treated as a "modification".

(Of course, I argue that modifications should be permitted as well,
but that is another discussion.)

Simon
