Feedback on updating /TR stylesheets requested: deadline 4 May 2015

Feedback is requested before the AC meeting (5 May) on updating W3C /TR stylesheets,  https://github.com/w3c/tr-design/blob/gh-pages/README.md

I suspect feedback should be sent to spec-prod@w3.org

> simplification that we're breaking the consistency of style between all
> W3C documents but it allows us more forward.

> Second, we shouldn't assume we need one new style and be done. Instead,
> I'd like to enable ourselves to have progressive enhancements over the
> years. It will also avoid having everyone trying to squeeze their own
> ideas between of a once-in-a-lifetime chance to change the styles. To
> make it easier on the tooling, we also need something predictable. So,
> I'd like to propose that we allow ourselves to update the /TR style
> sheets once per year, on January 1. All documents published in that year
> would  have to use the style, ensuring some consistency. Note that it
> doesn't imply we have to change the style every year, but it gives us an
> opportunity if we want to.
