[QB] CR preparation

Richard, all,

I've progressed the preparation for moving Data Cube to CR. Details 
below. Please check since we need the WG to be happy that everything in 
place for this (and for ORG) in time for Thursday's vote.

1. I've recorded all the editorial changes made in response to Last Call 
comments in the document [1].

2. We ideally need to get back to each commenter to confirm how we have 
dealt with their comments. We've done that, and have acknowledgements, 
for all non-editorial comments but haven't yet done so for the editorial 
changes. Richard are you OK for me to go ahead and do that?

3. I've created a static render of the proposed CR version of document 
at [2]. Pubrules seems happy. As usual this will not look right in 
Chrome thanks to security restrictions. This will be part of the 
documentation package we will be voting on so needs checking with the 
stuff below.

I've set the same arbitrary CR minimum period as for ORG. We need to 
agree on what the right answer is for both of them.

4. I've filled in the our CR transition page [3]. The key aspect is the 
CR exit criteria. As discussed last Thursday I'm proposing that Data 
Cube conformance be tested using the integrity constraints defined in 
the spec. Unlike ORG, I'm not suggesting splitting the vocabulary into 
feature groups.

I'm suggesting that the normalization algorithm and integrity checks, 
that were At Risk at Last Call remain At Risk through CR. This requires 
a bit of care since we need most of the integrity checks to survive in 
order to use them for CR exit! If the phrasing on the CR page isn't 
clear let me know. If it is clear but you don't like it then definitely 
let me know :)

5. Linked from the CR page I've started a page of implementations [4]. 
I've just filled in those I know directly about and the ones mentioned 
by people in the Last Call comments. I know there are a lot more around, 
especially via DERI so help on filling our more examples please.

Sandro, chairs, what else is needed?

Cheers,
Dave
