TR page needs flow chart showing spec phases
When someone comes to TR, they have no idea what ED, FPWD, WD, CR, PR, REC, mean, their distinctions, where they are in the lifecycle etc. A simple flow chart would help e.g. see the tops of:
https://indieweb.org/Micropub https://indieweb.org/Webmention https://indieweb.org/WebSub for spec state specific diagrams
and perhaps something simple like this in any context where lists of WD/CR/PR/REC are shown:

(diagrams by @aaronpk)
@tantek, it's not exactly what you suggest, but I started drawing a flow chart to guide newbies (or anyone, really) in the process of publishing specs of any kind:
https://github.com/w3c/w3c.github.io/blob/tripu/flow-diagram/img/flow-diagram.svg
It's more oriented towards tools (Bikeshed, Respec, spec-generator, Specberus, Echidna, Link Checker, etc) than towards types or phases of specs. But perhaps we could combine both in the same diagram?
