Solid Notifications Protocol: Add maturity as well as version. #75

Open timbl opened 2 years ago

timbl commented 2 years ago

Specs need both the version number, like 1.0 or 3.4.5, and the maturity like "draft, "Editor's Draft", "Recommendation".
Suggest publish this as say [Editor's] Draft of Version 1.0 of the Solid Notifications Protocol.

Making the version number < 1 messes up semver.

After 1.0, increment the major version for incompatible changes, minor for back-compatible enhancements, the patch level for bug fixes and wording improvements.

The version number is about the protocol. The maturity level is about the document and the community. The Solid Editors came to this conclusion but maybe have not written it up.
