Draft JPMS Public Review specification

I also agree with David. There is not sufficient consensus, including on those issues that have been prematurely marked as “Resolved”, for example #LayerPrimitives.

Given the fact that there still are significant issues outstanding and disagreement within the EG, it seems likely to me that a at least a second Public Review would need to be submitted anyway, one way or another.  In this light, I think it makes sense to wait at least until there's some semblance of consensus among the EG before posting the public review.
