Re: What to do with "Privacy Considerations for Web Protocols" reference?

Thanks for catching this, and for raising it on the call.

I agree that that unofficial draft should not be cited any longer. To that
end, I've opened a PR to mark it as discontinued and add pointers to other
ongoing work instead:
https://github.com/w3c/privacy-considerations/pull/5

I would agree that the TAG should link to the Privacy Principles document
instead. RFC 6973, Mitigating Browser Fingerprinting, Self-Review
Questionnaire: Security and Privacy could also be relevant, depending on
the particular context.

The last time we did one of these summaries a few years ago, I think we had
found a few of these unofficial starts of documents. It would be helpful if
there were a faster documented way to shut down a draft and point anyone
who visits to the subsequent work, but I hope this is a start.

Cheers,
Nick
