Re: Updated wiki about drafts/specs

I note that the August 2014 process document [1] now no longer
differentiate between Last Call Working Draft and Candidate
Recommendation - yet our charter (from 2014-09-24) includes those as
separate deliverable milestones [2]. I guess that means we can
reconsider in 2016 if we need both?
