Proposal to Republish WebCGM 1.0 and WebCGM 2.0 specifications as Superseded Recommendations (Wide Review until 2018-12-20)

Hello,

W3C Advisory Committee Representatives received a proposal to republish 
the following W3C Recommendations as Superseded Recommendations:

    WebCGM 1.0
    http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-WebCGM-20011217

    WebCGM 2.0
    https://www.w3.org/TR/2007/REC-webcgm20-20070130/

The following text to be added to the Status of This Document is part of 
this proposal to supersede:

[[
This specification is a Superseded Recommendation. A newer specification 
exists that is recommended for new adoption in place of this specification.

For purposes of the W3C Patent Policy, this Superseded Recommendation 
has the same status as an active Recommendation; it retains licensing 
commitments and remains available as a reference for old -- and possibly 
still deployed -- implementations, but is not recommended for future 
implementation. New implementations should follow the latest version of 
the WebCGM specification.
]]

As part of ensuring that the community is aware of this proposal, W3C 
invites public comments on the public-review-announce@w3.org mailing 
list [1] through 23:59, Boston time on 2018-12-20.

If you work for a W3C Member 
<https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Member/List>, please coordinate your 
comments with your Advisory Committee Representative. For example, you 
may wish to make public comments and have your Advisory Committee 
Representative refer to it from his or her formal review comments.

This Call for review follows section 6.9 "Declaring a W3C Recommendation 
Rescinded, Obsolete or Superseded" of the W3C Process Document:
      https://www.w3.org/2018/Process-20180201/#rec-rescind

and section 6.2.3.1 "Wide Review" of the W3C Process Document:
      https://www.w3.org/2018/Process-20180201/#wide-review

Thank you,

For Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Director,
Chris Lilley, SVG Working Group Team Contact, and
Ralph Swick, Architecture and Technology Lead;
