Current database wording self adhesive labels?
Stickers for the win?

I'm highly against card texts on the mythical database not matching last printed card [few exceptions e.g. Villein, Psyche]
That ship already sailed.
No printed card uses the word "ballot". 66 cards use the word "ballot" on Secret Library (18 crypt, 48 library). As do the official CSVs available at www.vekn.net/card-lists
Ditto, a whole bunch of clarificatory re-writes added in www.thelasombra.com/rules/rtr12022011.txt

Ballots i'm a proponent of [though I preferred Noodles] but i'm generally unhappy with small changes as it's a way to nail yourself into a digital game - which is not what we are

CSV files have always been more up-to-date than printed cards to include errata, clarification, etc. (remember the {} and =(( ))= back when LSJ was in charge?)
Anyway, I'm highly in favor of having a up-to-date text reference that can be checked when:
1/ in doubt (has the card been clarified?)
2/ not playing the latest print of the card (what does the latest version say?)
Your system doesn't work Hugh, since players won't always play with the latest print. So they'll have to check either the CSV file (through ARDB, Elder Library, or Vampidroid) or the latest print. Guess what's more convenient? And is it convenient not to have the clarified text because it differs from the printed version?
Keep in mind that I'm only talking about clarification (rewording is part of it), not errata.
Writing "+1 stealth equip action" is a clarification. Players in doubt that check the online text will get that information.
