It will be updated soon, but the point is that now WG drafts on TR pages can be so old they're pointless to look at. If they can't be updated say within 6 weeks, it would be better to publish the Editor's draft on that page (with any content not agreed to, including content that is significantly altered, as "recent change, to be reviewed by WG" or something like that (to avoid concerns over Editor changes not yet agreed to by the WG).

What about having a disclaimer in the SoTD that states "Caution, this is an Editor's draft and hence may contain changes not yet agreed to by the WG"... or some such.
