Re: ref to member submission

SOAP is a bit of special case - plus they actually talk about the member 
submission in the body of the doc so that reference doesn't seem as 
unnatural to me.

SOAP did link informatively to SOAP 1.1 [1], "previous version" links are 
only for W3C produced documents, so the member submission won't qualify 
for that.
