[csswg-drafts] CSS Snapshot naming, transition requests, and always being a FIRST Public Note (#6904)

svgeesus has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== CSS Snapshot naming, transition requests, and always being a FIRST Public Note ==
**/TR/CSS** is a redirect to the current snapshot.

The actual snapshot is published as **/TR/year/NOTE-css-year-fulldate** whose _latest version_ is **/TR/css-year** and is a First Public Note, which means it has no History and no previous version. Also we never publish another version. And we have to do a transition request each time, and can't use the automatic publishing system.

If instead we published the snapshot as **/TR/year/NOTE-css-fulldate** with a latest version as **/TR/css** then in all subsequent years we would have a previous version **/TR/lastyear/NOTE-css-lastyeardate** which would mean we would only need to do a document transition *once* and in all subsequent years we would use the automatic publishing system.

Besides being easier and avoiding jumping through some publishing hoops, this would also be more accurate because it is indeed a set of revisions of basically the same document. It just has a yearly cadence. The entire point of the transition request for First anything is because it is a brand new thing.
