Some WHATWG specs link to translations into various languages. These are not official WHATWG Workstream products (I think), but because they are linked and implicitly endorsed, we should recommend an appropriate notice. Workstream Policy describes all the other notices, so that seems like a good place to do it.

According to CC BY recommendations, the right way to do it would be:

This is a translation of X, which is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. Copyright © 2017 WHATWG (Apple, Google, Mozilla, Microsoft).

Where X is the name of the Living Standard, marked up as a link to it.

Fixes #40

Since translations are generally produced independently, I framed this
as a recommendation rather than a requirememt. Translators can
technically do whatever they want as long as they follow the
requirements of the license.

I proposed policy text for the above suggestion in PR #59

@henceproved @michaelchampion @dbaron I'd appreciate agreement or disagreement on this approach.

I am good with this approach. Add me to the PR if it needs an additional review/LGTM (looks like the editors and lawyers had some comments/suggestions that were being discussed).
