6.2 General requirements and definitions
  "Please note that publishing as used in this document refers to
  producing a version which is listed as a W3C Technical Report on
  its Technical Reports page https://www.w3.org/TR [PUB11].
  That sentence is a repeat of the first sentence in 6.1.
  Proposed: Delete the sentence in 6.2
  Discussion
  CMN: I know I said it twice. But it's important, so the second 
  one is to remind you that you should have paid attention.
  I prefer to have it in both places, but not strongly. I'll wait for 
  more feedback, and see what we get. I don't plan to do anything for 
  this until the end of the review period.
  IJ: I think when the same text appears twice in the document, 
  it looks like a bug and therefore (1) may cause confusion or (2) may 
  distract readers from the content of the sentence (as was my case).
  SZ Assessment: Duplication often leads to maintenance problems
  because it is difficult to keep both copies, which should be identical,
  in sync.
