OK, I guess we should follow W3C's versioning rules if the plan is to
release as a W3C spec in the future. IIUC, browser implementers
generally just rely on the Working Draft versions.

Also, for WhatWG theHTML editors are pretty liberal about pointing to
the current best spec. So I think we could have
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#mathml pointing to MathML Core draft once
we have a stable URL on our side and the draft is a bit more advanced.
We'd want 2/3 browsers to sign off on this reference though.
