Components described in 19.5 shall not change the value of errno (19.4). Implementations should leave the
error states provided by other libraries unchanged.

This is normative encouragement, but not using the new way to say that.

Also, change "shall" to "do".

Some more unnecessary shalls in the vicinity:

[errno.general]:

A separate errno value shall be provided for each thread.

[system.error.syn]

The value of each enum errc constant shall be the same as the value of the <cerrno> macro shown

(and should that say "enumerator" not "constant"?)
