Re: CfC: Publish First Public Working Draft of MSE v2

Hi Media Working Group participants,

Transition to FPWD was approved [1] but it turns out that the initial 
shortname plan that I claimed was possible, namely to just reuse 
"media-source" as the spec's shortname without introducing any sort of 
leveling, is not fully possible in practice.

We will rather have to publish the new spec using a "media-source-2" 
shortname. We can still have https://www.w3.org/TR/media-source/ target 
that new spec. Also note that the old REC will automatically get a 
"media-source-1" shortname in the process, meaning that 
https://www.w3.org/TR/media-source-1/ will link to the REC.

Note that the group can decide to have 
https://www.w3.org/TR/media-source/ return the REC instead, but my 
understanding from group discussions is that targeting the new FPWD is 
preferred. Let me know as soon as possible if my understanding is as bad 
as my initial shortname plan ;) Spec should be published on Thursday 
this week.

Thanks,
Francois.
