Updated SotL/L documents for Iteration 2

[Talden]

FYI, the list-manager gives the following URL for the list archives:
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/lambda-libs-spec-experts

However that page says the archive is empty (desite the fact that it
clearly isn't).

Anyone have any idea what the story is?
