Versions are actually on a scale of recommendations, and are expected to be created as needed. The scale presented here (develop/beta/default/recommended/mandatory) is a more wordy version of what was previously discussed/intended for room versions - the labels aren't final and may be changed.
The "Room Specification" (or "Room Version Specification") is the specification that defines which room versions do what and are intended to be documents which speak the truth about how rooms operate under the hood.
The approach taken here is a bit different than other specifications. For starters, the specification is versioned in this project instead of relying on the matrix.org repository to track compiled HTML. This is done for a couple reasons, the first being we're still developing the v1 specification while concurrently making a v2 spec and the second being trying to reduce the reliance on matrix.org's repository for specifications.
Because the room spec is built into versions, some changes needed to be made. The `targets.yaml` now has a special syntax for indicating what version something is at, and the changelog generator can handle rendering different versions of the same changelog (as parsed from the RST). Some additional work has been put in to the changelog parsing to allow us to reference the v1 room spec as "v1" without having to sacrifice clarity in the changelog headings.
Finally, this moves the state resolution algorithms into the versioned
spec as a result of MSC1759 (https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/1759).
Note: this does not introduce the concept of versioned schemas (tabs) that I was previously working with. There's currently no use for them, so they are shelved elsewhere.
Because this is the first release, it has several moving parts to it:
* The version variables have been defined.
* The towncrier changelog has been prepared for future modifications.
* The templating has been updated to better support future versions of the specification.
* A release process document has been created.
* Fix the event schema to represent the real world
* Add the module to the spec targets
* Remove incomplete thought from the client behaviour
* Link to the account data API
* Minor word choice changes

Adds the /msisdn' 3pid type and generally fleshes out what a 3pid
is and how they work.
This merges most of the work from Max Dor in https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/1039
with some tweaks and additions.
I want to change the URLs for the spec sections on the website from
<version>/<section>.html to <section>/<version>.html, to better reflect how we
do the versioning.
This puts each bit of spec in its own directory, updates the index to point to
the right place, and fixes continuserv to deal with directories as well as
files.
This will probably require fixes to the speculator too, but I'll have to come
back to that.
It's *definitely* not a client concern.
It isn't really in the right place at the moment, but s-s is very much a
work in progress whereas c-s is nearly stable.
