    ... and affects baseline
    ... and logical direction
    ... can to to top or right, depends on line
    ... dbaron said "it's a little complex"

    richard: main thing is to not do what we just did... ;-)
    ... remove need to make formal resolution to publish
    ... so that the github version and TR version track closely
    ... the reason to do that is so that users review TR version
    ... because TR is dated
    ... and can scroll back to see what the text specifically was
    ... so asking that the WG agree that editors can publish at any
    time without approval of WG
    ... this would apply to working drafts *only*
    ... could update daily (more likely every couple of weeks)
    ... when editor is ready
    ... First Public or Note publication would require WG approval
    ... just about keeping TR in sync with github version
    ... process proposal also says that suggestions can be put on
    github branches before merging

    <scribe> chair: do you support (+1) or not support (-1)
    proposal to change our default publication process to not
    require WG approval for editors to update TR from github
    version
