For example, is it required that all documents have sections on privacy considerations, security considerations, and internationalization considerations?

Ted provided some information in a PR comment [1]

FPWD does require group consensus to publish, but there are no requirements about its content, which has even less weight than the content of a WG NOTE, which has almost no weight. An FPWD could be pure boilerplate, or a collection of sections that entirely disagree with each other, or a bunch of Guttenberg Project or Lorem Ipsum text.

Probably mostly in the Publication Rules [2] and Process Document [3].

Generally, the FPWD docs will be prepared with a planned publication date and saved in the repository (for example see the snapshot for rdf-canon [4]). This can be done by adding `?specStatus=FPWD&pubDate=YYYY-MM-DD` to the browser and using the control in the upper right to save the document as HTML, along with files used directly by the finished document. Then, pass it through the pubrules checker [5] and link checker [6]. This sometimes finds minor problems that will need to be corrected. Generally, you can get a URL for a formatted version of the spec after it’s been uploaded using the raw file viewer for the Overview.html in GitHack.

Most of the technical Pubrules requirements are handled by ReSpec automatically based on specStatus.

Once FPWD has been published, the group can decide to use Echidna for subsequent updates automatically via the GitHub action we have in place up until CR.
