Kinda sorta, but mostly WAI.  I've begun namespacing the statuses
based on "supergroup" - W3C groups have access to the W3C document
statuses, ISO groups have access to the ISO statuses, etc.  This
avoids collisions between independent groups.

Unfortunately, I haven't yet added a good way to let Bikeshed know
that you're a W3C group, besides me adding your group to the list
manually.  Happy to do so - what's your Group?

Still TODO, because the list is long and I need to rejigger how I do
my documentation.

Yes, metadata can't have leading whitespace. If you do so, it triggers
the "continuation line" feature, where you can spread a multi-line
value over multiple lines without having to repeat the metadata name
again.

This isn't explained well - thanks for pointing out the documentation bug!

Yes, it updates within a few minutes of me pushing changes to the
repository.  This change definitely occurred more recently than June.
