Re: [ReSpec] UNOFFICIAL DRAFT background

Hi Martynas,

To echo what Chris said, the watermark is by design: it's part of the "official" W3C style sheet for all Community Group drafts and not something ReSpec imposes. 

Nevertheless, it's the best the W3C community has come up with so far, but we are open to suggestions. 

As an alternative, you can use `specStatus: "unofficial"` in your document, that will only display the watermark across the top (keeping the body legible) and also remove the W3C logo. That makes it possible to share the document around with less potential of it being confused with having official standing at the W3C. 

Hope that helps!
