[Openid-specs-risc] openid/sharedsignals: Comment created on issue 292

[Shannon Day]

You should not update the spec_version field from 1_0-ID2 to 1_0-final. The
specification requires a value of 1_0-ID2 or greater, and 1_0-final is not
a valid successor in this versioning scheme.
Here's a breakdown of the versioning used in this context:

   - ID2 likely stands for "implementation draft 2," which is a specific
   type of pre-release version identifier.
   - Other pre-release identifiers, like alpha, beta, and rc (release
   candidate), are also standard in versioning schemes.
   - When a standard is finalized, the pre-release identifier is removed
   entirely. A new, non-pre-release version would be 1_0 or 1.0.0.

A value of 1_0-final is not recognized and may cause compatibility issues
with implementers who expect a standard pre-release marker or a final,
non-suffixed version.
What to do instead
To properly advance the version number:

   1. For a stable version: If the standard is final, update the value to
   1_0 or 1.0.0, removing the pre-release suffix completely.
   2. For a new draft: If you are releasing a new draft, follow the
   established versioning pattern, for example, 1_0-ID3.
   3. To indicate a release candidate: If this is the last step before a
   final release, use a conventional marker like 1_0-rc1.
