****************************************************************
Topic:  publication of ixml spec as W3C CG Report
****************************************************************

Rules: https://www.w3.org/community/about/faq/#how-do-we-publish-a-report

Published report:
  https://www.w3.org/community/reports/ixml/CG-FINAL-ixml-20231212/

There is one problem: CG Reports are linked from the Reports page and
from the page for the responsible CG:

  https://www.w3.org/community/reports/
  https://www.w3.org/community/ixml/

Currently, both of those link use not the URL of the report but to a
URL which returns a 404:

  https://ixml.nwalsh.com/ixml/CG-FINAL-ixml-20230710/

Some discussion is needed to decide how to clear this up.
