The initial proposed dates reflected a desire to have a final protocol
spec rev by RC1.  However, I'm not sure this is actually required in
this case.  It probably is reasonable to address issues in CAS4RC1 and
the protocol spec revision throughout the RC testing phase since they
are mutually dependent on a small but important issue
(<cas:attributes>).

Here's a revised proposed schedule for the protocol revision release process:

* Declare CAS3.0 Protocol Revision as Release Candidate Status on
April 29th (same date as CAS4RC1)
* Community Review/Feedback/Testing against CAS4RC1 and CAS clients
(April 29th - May  31st)
* Committer/Contributer Consensus Vote May 31st

Thoughts?

Best,
Bill
