Request for a re-review of EPUB, in preparation for move to Proposed Recommendation, from @wareid.

I am reaching out to see if it would be possible for a member of PING to do a final review of the EPUB specifications in preparation for our move to PR. We will be publishing a CR snapshot soon, but have been advised to try and get your feedback before then as we do not plan to make any further changes to the documents, barring comments. 

You can find the latest revisions of three documents here:

https://w3.org/TR/epub-33

https://w3.org/TR/epub-rs-33

https://w3.org/TR/epub-a11y-11

If you would prefer to review the change log for each, you can find them here:

Throughout the review and revision process, there have been some significant improvements to address the privacy considerations we earlier raised. Normative requirements and privacy threat models are described in each specification. Some features with unnecessary fingerprinting surface have been deprecated. Privacy considerations note the threats from DRM and authenticity and integrity even though those issues have not been resolved.

I opened a couple smaller issues on re-review (further clarity on the status of signed documents, and a deprecated reference in an example):
