| So the WG has proposed a new mechanism for making reviewable changes available on TR. We will produce a copy of the REC (CSS2 in this case) as a NOTE (CSS2-testing). This NOTE will be kept up-to-date with all proposed substantive changes to the REC, and people will be directed to review these changes in the NOTE. Periodically we will check the state of the changes in the NOTE, and those changes that have passed review and have passing tests will be folded in to the REC. This allows us to produce a CR of the Edited Recommendation that is ready to pass through the PR and REC stages as quickly as possible. | So the WG has proposed a new mechanism for making reviewable changes available on TR.
