Re: [web-annotation] The textDirection and processingLanguage properties are not needed

@tantek, just to put the admin issue at rest:

> 6.4.1 Revising a Candidate Recommendation
>
> If there are any substantive changes made to a Candidate 
Recommendation other than to remove features explicitly identified as 
"at risk", the Working Group must obtain the Director's approval to 
publish a revision of a Candidate Recommendation. This is because 
substantive changes will generally require a new Exclusion Opportunity
 per section 4 of the W3C Patent Policy [PUB33]. Note that approval is
 expected to be fairly simple compared to getting approval for a 
transition from Working Draft to Candidate Recommendation.

 requirements, or explain why the requirements have changed or been 
deferred,

at least four weeks after publication, and should be longer for 
complex documents,

Recommendation,

and

features may be removed before advancement to Proposed Recommendation 
without a requirement to publish a new Candidate Recommendation.

Recommendation to other W3C groups and the Public.

See https://www.w3.org/2015/Process-20150901/#revised-cr

As the text does say that the Director's approval is probably quicker 
than for the first round, but we cannot just re-issue a document 
without further ado. We need to get approval, republish, and all that 
jazz.

(I have also checked the [2016 version of the 
process](https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/AB/raw-file/cfef536bff0d/cover.html#revised-cr)
 and, as far as I can see, there is no difference.)

Anyway. We should not get bogged down in admin issues, but we should 
also avoid overcomplicating our lives.
