[Encoding] Supporting files referenced rather than copied [I18N-ISSUE-355]

Dear Martin,

Your comment [1] on 9 June, 2014, was recorded as I18N-ISSUE-355 [2] and was ACCEPTED by the Internationalization WG. 

Part of your comment asked:

--
I can imagine various reasons for the above, among else:
- This was an oversight (-> please fix)
- This was done to save work (-> please work harder :-)
- This was done to be able to pretend that there's a stable
   version but keep as much agility as possible, hoping nobody
   finds out.
--

The actual answer is that we recognized the need for stable files when the Encoding specification is published. However, since the document and files associated with it continue to be subject to modification during the LC period in response to LC comments, we did not create stabilized copies at the W3C site for the purposes of the LC. When the document is published as CR, we will create copies on the W3C site that have stable, permanent links which are included in the W3C published version of the document. Future updates of the W3C version will have matching versioned copies of the files.

We hope this satisfies your comment. Can you please reply to this email explicitly indicating whether you are satisfied by this resolution?

Thanks (for I18N),

Addison

Internationalization is not a feature.
It is an architecture.
