XEP-0001: add state transition Proposed -> Experimental
Rationale: Sometimes, XEPs linger in Last Call state. This is probably for the same reason as XEPs which linger in Experimental state (and then become Deferred). However, currently there is no way to put Proposed (= Last Call) XEPs back into Experimental state if one follows the XEP-0001 process by the letter. This is unfortunate, because it puts council into the position to either: - Reject a XEP which is actually useful, but needs work before going to Draft, or - Advance a XEP to Draft which isn’t ready yet, or - Burn cycles of the Editors and Council on perpetuating a Last Call which won’t lead to a conclusion at the current time. (The "burning" of "cycles" is mostly due to the noise created by either officially extending the LC all the time, or having a zombie Proposed XEP hanging around in the list and having to recognize it as zombie and ignoring it.)

<p>After a XEP has been proposed to the XMPP Council, any change in its status shall be determined by a vote of the XMPP Council. All members of the Council must vote, with the possible values being +1 (approve), 0 (neutral), or -1 (disapprove, with reasons). A XEP shall not be advanced to the next stage in the approval process so long as any Council Member continues to vote -1; that Council Member's written concerns must be addressed in order for the XEP to advance. A majority of Council members must vote +1 in order for a XEP to advance. (Additional voting policies, such as voting periods and defaults if a member does not vote, may be set by the XMPP Council.) A vote of the XMPP Council is final and binding, although a XEP author is free to address the concerns of the Council and to resubmit the XEP for future consideration.</p>

<p>If the XMPP Council does not complete voting on a XEP before the end of its term, the XMPP Extensions Editor shall issue a new Last Call on the Standards list and the newly-elected Council shall vote anew on the XEP after completion of the Last Call.
