Fine for all except WebDatabase.
I notice that its present ED is virtually the same as its FPWD
(modulo a new section on data sensitivity). There is no movement on
any of the thorny issues - locking granularity, relational model and
SQL dialect.
I am not sure what benefit is to be achieved from republishing
essentially the same draft as a new WD. It does have the opportunity
to mislead general public in thinking that progress is being made in
the spec, when that is not the case.
As Ian says in the IRC log, no one agrees on the WebDatabase spec
any way so does it help to publish (essentially the same text as) a
new WD?
I think it's advantageous to publish the freshest versions we have as
Working Drafts in advance of the publication moratorium. I don't see
the advantage to leaving an older copy in the TR/ namespace, even if
the changes are relatively small.

As with all of our CfCs, positive response is preferred and
