a Common Lifecycle Enumeration document.

this is much too early. TC54-TG3 did not publish anything yet - so there is no standard/spec to use, or is there?

an OpenEOX document.

I tried very hard to find any standard/spec, but I failed. It appears that OpenEOX is still work-in-progress, as the only thing they've published is a structural proposal - and they are still working on the taxonomy, right?

a human-readable document [...]

I don't see much value in this. Well, it's something, but nothing i would consider valuable in any scale.


this being said, I will put this PR in "DRAFT" mode.
If you think this was a mistake, please let us know.

There is a draft in Ecma-TC54/tg3#3

a human-readable document [...]

I don't see much value in this. Well, it's something, but nothing i would consider valuable in any scale.

While a human-readable document is a poor replacement for a machine-readable one, there is some value in having a direct link to an HTML page that lists all officially supported versions.

Many projects (including some of mine) don't even have such an HTML page, so determining if a version is supported requires a lot of Googling and guesswork.

this being said, I will put this PR in "DRAFT" mode.
If you think this was a mistake, please let us know.

That's fine by me.
