Please submit comments about these specs by 19 November.
Note the Process Document states the following regarding the
significance/meaning of LCWD:
[[
http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/tr.html#last-call
Purpose: A Working Group's Last Call announcement is a signal that:
* the Working Group believes that it has satisfied its relevant
technical requirements (e.g., of the charter or requirements
document) in the Working Draft;
* the Working Group believes that it has satisfied significant
dependencies with other groups;
* other groups SHOULD review the document to confirm that these
dependencies have been satisfied.
In general, a Last Call announcement is also a signal that the
Working Group is planning to advance the technical report to later
maturity levels.
]]
Additionally, a LCWD should be considered feature-complete with all
issues resolved; that is, as Chaals noted yesterday, "Last Call means
the Working Group considers the work to be good".
