Vocabularies document -- RFC very soon

[Norman Gray]

Folks,

We are, as of today, very slightly behind Christophe's roadmap for the  
vocabularies document.

There's only one to-do still marked in the document, concerned with  
adding a link to a sample inter-vocabulary mapping.  Alasdair can add  
that very quickly, when he returns from holiday at the end of this  
month.  Once that's done, I suggest Sébastien makes a release of WD  
1.11, calling it PR, and entering the RFC period (or whatever the  
version numbering scheme requires; it confuses me).

That will mean...

RFC period: 7 July -- 11 August (5 weeks, over the summer)
TCG review: 11 August -- 15 September
PR submission to Exec
Exec review: 15 September -- 29 September
REC (assuming all reviews pass).

Any objections?

I've made a couple of minor wording changes to the document's advice  
about constructing vocabulary terms, based on my experience converting  
the AVM vocabulary.  The current editors' draft is as usual at [1],  
with the diffs as usual available at [2].

All the best,

Norman
