Purpose

Adds 2026/wac-20260420.html so WAC 1.1 (as of solid/web-access-control-spec@dc634d5f, dated 2026-04-20) has a stable URL on https://solidproject.org/TR/2026/wac-20260420.

This is a prerequisite for solid26 #783, which currently cites a Wayback Machine snapshot of the editor's draft. Once this PR is merged, the link in solid26 can be swapped to the immutable TR URL.

What's in 1.1 vs 1.0

WAC 1.1 introduces acl:condition, with ClientCondition (application-aware matching beyond Origin) and IssuerCondition. Deny rules are not added; WAC remains monotonic.

Snapshot transformations applied to the editor's draft

  • State line: "Editor's Draft" → "Draft Community Group Report" (linked to https://www.w3.org/standards/types/#reports).
  • This version: editor's-draft URL → https://solidproject.org/TR/2026/wac-20260420.
  • Latest published version rel: rel:latest-versionrel:latest-version mem:original.
  • Added dl#document-editors-draft and dl#document-timemap blocks (consistent with 2024/wac-20240512.html).
  • Created / Published dates set to 2026-04-20 (matching the WAC 1.0 snapshot pattern, where each TR snapshot resets these dates).

For review

@csarven — flagging you as the WAC editor. Could you sanity-check the snapshot transformations and confirm whether anything else needs adjusting before this becomes the canonical TR URL for 1.1?

Test plan

  • Render 2026/wac-20260420.html and confirm metadata block (state line, This version URL, dates, editors-draft, timemap) reads correctly.
  • Confirm internal anchors (#change-log, #acl-link-relation, etc.) resolve.
  • Confirm mem:original appears on the latest-published-version link.
  • @csarven sign-off on the snapshot transformations.

Snapshots the Web Access Control Editor's Draft at commit dc634d5f
(solid/web-access-control-spec, dated 2026-04-20). Applies the standard
TR snapshot transformations:

- State line: Editor's Draft -> Draft Community Group Report.
- This version: editor's draft URL -> https://solidproject.org/TR/2026/wac-20260420.
- Latest published version: rel adds mem:original.
- Adds document-editors-draft and document-timemap blocks.
- Created / Published dates set to 2026-04-20 (matching the prior WAC
  snapshot's pattern).

WAC 1.1 introduces acl:condition, ClientCondition, and IssuerCondition
over WAC 1.0. This snapshot allows solid26 (#776, #783) to cite a stable
URL when signposting WAC 1.1 features.

wac-20260420 is being created in #784. Once that snapshot PR is
merged, this link should be swapped to the immutable TR URL.
