I explained this in my private email to you Kevin, before I sent
this to everyone else.
I'm thinking of the footer value as a (poor) substitute for a
watermark on each page. If you use a watermark to mark drafts, you
don't want any watermark at all on the final version. Hopefully
someone will figure out how to turn the status value into a
watermark at some point in the future.
But I've already spent too much time on this. If you like Final
Version in the footer, do that.

Are we sure
we don't
want the "Final Release" in the footer on every page? The
final version of the Java EE 8 Platform and Web Profile
specifications
has "Final Release" in the footer on every page. It seems
like it would be an easier change to just override the
<status> element
to "Final Release" either by updating the pom.xml or mvn
property
setting. This would not require a change in the efsl document.
Is there some
reason why the "Final Release" in the footer is not desirable?

[jakartaee-spec-project-leads] Update to specification document
template
Sent
by: jakartaee-spec-project-leads-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx
The template for the spec doc
projects
allows for setting the "status" of
a document in the pom.xml. The status then appears in the
footer
of every page, and on the copyright/license page for the spec.
My intent was that the status would be "DRAFT" or "BETA"
or something
like that during development, and then would be "" for the
final
release.
That works great for the page footer, but results in the
copyright/license
page having this entry:
Status:
What we probably want in that case is:
Status: Final Release
But I don't think we need that in the page footer.
(I would do a page watermark instead of the footer, if I knew
how to do
that.)
We have a fix for the above problem:
ifeval::["{revremark}" != ""]
Status: {revremark}
endif::[]
ifeval::["{revremark}" == ""]
Status: Final Release
endif::[]
You can pick up a new version of the license-efsl.adoc file
with the fix
here:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bshannon/spec-template/master/src/main/asciidoc/license-efsl.adoc
Please update your spec documents with this fix.
Thanks.
