Proposed Recommendation is only a transitional phase. Nothing stays there: either the transition is approved and the spec goes to REC, or it's not and it reverts to a lower maturity. The things that happen during PR are useful, but they don't really depend on there being an explicit phase with an explicit publication, so we can simplify things by folding all of this into the transition from CR to REC, without a distinct phase.

Looks like a good draft (on a skim of the github diff rather than a very careful review, so faar). |

As discussed in #861, the Proposed Recommendation phase of the REC track exists only to support an AC Review during the transition of a document from CR to REC. We can simplify the Process a good deal by doing away with Proposed Recommendation entirely, and doing the AC Review on the CR that we want to promote to REC. Then, if the AC Review is successful (in addition to the other criteria), we could publish the REC directly.
This Pull Request does just that. It keeps all the criteria that were present at the CR→PR transition, as well those of the PR→REC transition, and combines them into a CR→REC transition.
This allows for a simplification of terminology, a simplification of Process text, a reduction in the number of states described in the REC track diagram, and a reduction of work needed by the WG and the Team (one transition to request instead of two, one less publication to make); all without any changes about what is expected of a Recommendation.
