Newby question...
What the best way to publish N documents that refer to each other, where
N > 1? Should we use local-biblio while preparing the drafts, then
after publication move those local-biblio entries into specref? Or
should we put speculative stuff into specref, so for a few days before
publication, everyone's drafts will have a reference to a TR that
doesn't exist yet (and might end up never existing, if the publication
date changes)?
I suppose, in theory, respec or specref could notice that it's
speculative (since the date of publication is in the future) and only
use that reference under certain condition -- some kind of "I'm
preparing this document" flag. One can imagine these speculative
reference could be added w3c-wide whenever the webmaster gives out a
publication date.
On a related subject, is specref automatically updates with every w3c
(and ietf?) publication, or does it have to be updated by hand after
each publication?
