	Change Log

	* From -00 to -01:

	- Fixed a nit ("This documents updates" -> "This document
	updates")

	- We have the liaison from the IEEE 802.11 WG; update to point at
	the liaison statement.

	- For some reason, pushing the -01 version to GitHub didn't
	trigger the build. Trying to post manually.
