One of the goals of roadmaps is to show what technologies W3C has developed or is developing in a given space. Technologies that WG are developing are those published on /TR/, and WG are still expected to publish drafts to /TR/ on a regular basis. So it makes sense to me to favor the /TR/ link when it exists.

That said, it would be useful to know the URL of the Editor's Draft (ED) of a given spec, and to have a mechanism to let roadmap authors link to the ED when they feel it's needed. We may also want to add a link to the ED in generated tables.

The URL of the ED can be retrieved from the shortname through the W3C API.

Note that for published W3C specs, the https://www.w3.org/TR/[short-name]/ed/ URL now redirects to the Editor's Draft, so we don't really need to retrieve that information from the W3C API anymore. We can simply compute it.

The URL of the Editor's Draft is now reported in an edDraft property. Information comes from the W3C API or from Specref, depending on the spec.
