The main effect of this submission, as I understand it, is to guarantee
(to the extent W3C can) that the document won't go 404.  That's required
for some purposes (eg registration of the mime type).

TimBL sometimes jokes that if he got the typos out of his work, no one
would believe he wrote it.  (Although I don't think the SOTDs are from
him.)

If you've actually read through the documents, it'd be great if you'd
send along any constructive comments you have.
