As mentioned in my email of a few minutes ago, we'll figure out the URLs
in advance of the actual publication.    Once the group has reviewed the
drafts, resolved to publish them, and a few more procedural and clerical
steps are taken, then W3C staff will "publish" the documents, which
means: making them available at those permanent URLs, listing them on
www.w3.org/TR, and announcing them on the w3.org front page.    That
begins the first public review period.    Then we make some
improvements, publish again, get more reviews, repeating, until they're
stable and become as W3C Recommendations.

We have a mailing list, public-gld-comments@w3.org, with public archives
at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-gld-comments/ .  If it's
set up properly, every comment sent to that list will be distributed to
the WG members as well.   The drafts and the news announcements will ask
people to send their comments to that list.
