(Of course only the formatting portion should be so guarded; parsing
is not the subject of any issues list, it's just required by the
standard.)
Are you aware that a large number of DRs were approved and voted out
as a Technical Corrigendum, so are now officially Standard? Probably
any guards on resolutions mentioned in the TC should be removed, or
changed to something that defaults to "on".
IMHO the issues lists should be documented in a separate category from
extensions, and presented rather more prominently. Extensions are
something one can reasonably ignore, but a careful user must not
ignore defect reports and their resolutions.
I notice that neither the local copies of, nor the official on-line
versions of the issues lists, are linked from the page; we only
have links to particular issue numbers.
