           <li>Instead of relying on a Last Call publication for adequate review
             there is a requirement for a Working Group to demonstrate "<a href="#wide-review">wide

           <li>Last Call and Candidate Recommendation have been collapsed
             together. Some of the requirements are therefore enforced earlier in
             the process.</li>
           <li>There is a stronger emphasis (without creating new formal
             requirements) on getting review and testing implementation as early
             as possible. How to do this is left to Working Groups to determine.</li>

+          <li>Advisory Committee review now begins at the same time as Candidate
             recommendation, and ends 4 weeks after the Working group has
