Could the SVG Working Group please explain which part of the W3C  
Process Document allows going directly from Working Draft (the draft  
of http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-SVGMobile12-20060721/ ) to Candidate  
Recommendation, bypassing the Last Call stage?

The only valid advancement step for a Working Draft that I see in the  
Process Document is to Last Call:

"After republication as a Working Draft, the next forward step  
available to the Working Group is a Last Call announcement. The Last  
Call announcement may occur at the same time as the publication of  
the Working Draft."

The SVG Working Group did not announce a Last Call for the July 21  
Working Draft.

If the SVG Working Group has been granted an exception to the  
requirements of the W3C Process, could the WG please explain who  
granted the exception and what the justification is?

Maciej
