SOTD action item on WebCGM 1.0

The STOD already has this paragraph:

"This specification is based, in large part, on a work by the same name,
WebCGM 2.0 an OASIS Committee Specification submitted to W3C as WebCGM
2.0 Submission. This Member Submission is related to the previous W3C
work on WebCGM 1.0, and draws on experiences with that format from
implementors and users over five years. This Working Draft incorporates
feedback and discussion following the Submission."

Actually that looks like is needs to be cleaned up a little too, e.g.,
"Working Draft"??

Anyway, to handle the status of WebCGM 1.0, I would propose a paragraph
added like the following:

"WebCGM 1.0 functionality is mostly a subset of WebCGM 2.0
functionality, with a few exceptions (e.g., feature deprecation) as
described in this WebCGM 2.0 text.  While WebCGM 1.0 remains a valid
specification, primarily to support existing data, use of WebCGM 2.0
viewers and authoring tools is encouraged."

Is there more that needs to be said than that??
