[css-images-4] Long overdue for republishing

[svgeesus]

CSS Images 4 was last published to /TR in April 2017 and the list of changes since then is extensive. It is long overdue for republication.

1. Is the list of changes up-to-date?
2. Are there must-have, blocking issues that absolutely must be edited into the spec before republication?
3. Any other blockers I might be unaware of?

I suspect the answers to these questions are no, yes, and yes. But it'd require doing triage to say which ones specifically. :) (This is why I didn't tackle it in December, this and Selectors 4 require some serious prep work before publication.)

[svgeesus]

Thanks! There are currently 9 issues tagged "needs edits" and the History shows only two edits since I updated the changes section in November.

Edit: changes once more up to date

Given that we this week we cleared for pre-CR shipping the gradient use of <color-interpolation-method> used in Images 4, it is particularly important that the /TR version is less than 5 years old and actually includes that.

So, given the changes section is up to date, lets actually publish the thing please?

<TabAtkins> fantasai: I haven't had time to review, but I'm happy to publish for now and have any trouble brought up later
<TabAtkins> astearns: Objection to publishing WD?
<TabAtkins> RESOLVED: Publish new WD of Images 4

[svgeesus]

@tabatkins @fantasai @LeaVerou on the call we didn't assign anyone to actually publish it. Its a WD so the automatic system can be used.

[fantasai]

@svgeesus Changes section is not up to date, so I think it needs a closer audit before publishing.

[fantasai]

Audit completed, blocked on publication tooling. :)

(L3 and L4 are in need of an editorial re-sync, but that doesn't block publication.)
