[presentation-api] Publish a revised Candidate Recommendation

anssiko has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/presentation-api:

== Publish a revised Candidate Recommendation ==
[All - please let us know if you have any comments or concerns with 
this publication plan. Silence is considered consent.]

There has been [substantive changes][1] to the Presentation API since 
the latest [Candidate Recommendation 14 July 2016][2] thanks to 
extensive implementation feedback and findings from the conformance 
testing of the API. See also the [visual HTML diff][3] between the CR 
and the latest [Editor's Draft][4]. Given that, we should publish a 
revised Candidate Recommendation.

Per the [process for revising a CR][5], the group needs to address the
 following requirements to make that happen:

- [x] must show that the revised specification meets all Working Group
 requirements, or explain why the requirements have changed or been 
deferred,
- [ ] must specify the deadline for further comments, which must be at
 least four weeks after publication, and should be longer for complex 
documents,
- [ ] must document the changes since the previous Candidate 
Recommendation,
- [ ] must show that the proposed changes have received wide review, 
and
- [ ] may identify features in the document as "at risk". These 
features may be removed before advancement to Proposed Recommendation 
without a requirement to publish a new Candidate Recommendation.

To tick the boxes, I suggest we:

* use the deadline of four weeks for further comments,
* document high-level changes since the first CR in the Status of This
 Document section, and in addition, link to the [GitHub compare][1] 
(or the HTML diff) for the detailed changes (@mfoltzgoogle could you 
help compile the high-level list?), 
* regarding the wide review of the changes, @tidoust let us know your 
recommendation how to handle the wide review of the delta,
* document "at risk" features in the SoTD section as well -- 
implementers @mfoltzgoogle @schien et al.: please let us know if there
 are features in the spec you are considering not to implement.

Finally, after we've ticked the above boxes, @tidoust will help us 
acquire the approval from the Director to publish a revision, and I 
expect will help prepare a publication-ready updated CR snapshot:

- [ ] must obtain the Director's approval to publish a revision of a 
Candidate Recommendation
