Identifiers 1.1

[Marco C. Leoni]

Hi Bob,
    this sounds like less work for the Document Coordinator: then I 
agree, let's merge the two docs - Working Draft and internal WG Draft - 
and remove the WD tree from the ivoa.net/Documents section of the site.
Also, the IVOA Document Standards Recommendation needs to be updated to 
reflect these changes.

Cheers,
    Marco
