[All] last call publication and moving ITS2 forward

Hi all,

today I got the confirmation that it is OK to publish another LC WD with 
NIF as the non-normative reference, that is: Option 1). The RDF working 
group might still have comments on our draft, but it is OK to discuss 
these during the last call period.

The new timeline then is

1) publish a new LC draft 20 August (Tuesday next week)
2) go to PR around September
3) got to REC early November

Please find proposed edits as a PDF with change marks at

http://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/wiki/File:Its20-edits-20130815-all.pdf

I will now start integrating the edits into the XML source. Please 
comment on this thread until Monday 4 p.m. UTC. I will then send the 
draft for publication.

The main reason why the last call publication will work with option 1) 
is your work. The discussion around
https://www.w3.org/International/multilingualweb/lt/track/issues/18
and the thread we had for preparing yesterday's call
obviously document clearly that the working group knows the issues 
around RDF modeling very well, and that the decision to go for option 1) 
has our consensus.
So despite the issues we have faced, let me express that I am very happy 
that we have within one group experts from the HTML / RDF / XML realm. 
Without contributors from all three communities, the proposed solutions 
would not have been developed well - or at all.

Best,

Felix
