Re: [w3c/FileAPI] Remove Previous Version from .bs file (#169)

Currently the way that works with spec-prod is to completely drop the `Previous Version` part from the source, and let spec-prod add it. For example, see https://github.com/w3c/webappsec-csp/pull/484/files.


So the current patch in this PR is doing the right thing.

> Do EDs typically list previous versions?

I don’t know if most EDs have Previous Version links but regardless it doesn’t seem useful for EDs to have Previous Version links.

The Previous Version links have some usefulness in the TR publications, and so outside of the fact they’re required by pubrules for TR publication, it also makes some sense as far as usability/UX for readers to have them there.

But I don’t think that really holds for EDs.

> So I guess (without changing spec-prod) we can either have previous version in the ED, but have it twice in the WD. Or alternatively just have previous version in the WD and not in the ED at all.

It seems fine to have at the Previous Version info just in the WD but the ED. It doesn’t seem like readers are losing anything by us not having the Previous Version link in the ED.
