[tcs-lc] New Version of TCS announced

[Kennedy, Jessie]

yes that summarises things...
I guess there are details here and there but I don't think anything else major....

As I said we still have nominal concepts for marking up data which historically used a name where we would prefer a concept. But we can also have names which many people seemed to want.
