create bibtex file and recommended ways to cite the current document

[npdoty]

It should be easy for people who read TR specs to cite them correctly.

We should generate a bibtex file with citation details for each spec. We could also generate JSON for Specref (maybe that part is already present?).

We could collaborate with Zotero or others to make sure there's a translator that uses embedded metadata in TR HTML to correctly import metadata about a draft or recommendation.

We could include brief instructions in the Status of this Document section (or similar) for how to cite this document, including explaining whether it's a work in progress.

Apologies if this should go in a more generic repro; it would be great if auto-publication had this functionality automatically, but it would be a good goal to get all published TR specs to have this citation functionality.

Hi @npdoty , this suggestion would be helpful to the auto-publication as well as the manual publication. It would be great if you bring it to spec-prod@w3.org to the editors for more discussion
