Re: draft of 2.1 TS and implementation report document

Good, thanks Thierry.

I agree that we should not link them till we have WG approval.

Thanks for putting them in the WG space.  I am able to help with the 
editing there.  (Whereas the final TS20 document was elsewhere on the W3C 
site where I could not edit.)  I'll have a look at the IR draft later, but 
will be mostly away from the office for the rest of today.
