It's not a matter of encouraging W3C to publish it... we will publish it 
whenever we ask them to.  However, there are publication guidelines we 
have to follow; for example, it needs to be valid and well-formed, etc.

I also think it would benefit from being broken down into several pages, 
perhaps along chapters.  Right now, it takes a long time to load and 
render.  Breaking it down this way would let us include the SVG examples 
inline more easily, if we want to do that.
