Outstanding PRs and changes post level 1

At the time of writing there are 22 outstanding PRs for the
specification.  It is important to us as a vendor that the living
standard reflects the reality of the implementations, and some of
the PRs contains useful clarifications we would like to see in the
specification.

I understand the editors are working on preparing a snapshot of the
document for CR/REC, meaning it will be frozen with limited ability
to make changes, but because Mozilla—and I imagine most other
vendors—follow the living document (last changed 23 October) [2]
rather than the TR (dated 30 March) [3], it doesn’t make sense to
put a halt to further changes aimed at post level 1.

I would suggest branching off level 1 to a separate branch so we can
continue iterating on the master branch.  If there are particularly
important bug fixes that needs to make level 1 they can be cherry
picked or backported.
