A release process for the REMARK standard #104

One thing that the Citation File Format has is a release process, whereby they can publish multiple versions of the CFF standard. When a document is compliant with the standard, it specifies in its metadata which version of the standard it complies with.

More information about the versioning and institution of CFF here:

We have been tweaking the REMARK standard gradually over many months. But because we never do a "release", we never know if a REMARK truly meets the standard. The standard can shift at any time. This is confusing and makes it hard to be systematic in reviews of potential REMARKs.

We need to institute a release process for the REMARK standard so we can be clear about different versions of it.

YAML is another example of a standard with a versioned history:
