Clarifies that the Statement is not limited to "specifications" but extends to all W3C technical or community reports, and updates to those reports.

I think we should hold this a bit so that we can make the couple changes Angel's asking for as editorial changes, which don't require any review beyond the TAG, per https://www.w3.org/policies/process/#revising-memo. But as soon as we start on the next version, +1 for bringing this in.

I think we ought to keep mentioning specifications and recommendations, since non-W3C readers might not realize that "reports" is a superset (they might also not realize that "standards" are included in "recommendations"), but +1 on broadening the purpose like this.

Perhaps:

the purpose of this document is to inform wide review of
charters and reports produced by the web community,
including specifications, W3C recommendations, and technical and non-technical reports.

(Apologies that Github doesn't let me make this a suggested change.)

The categories in that last line overlap, and I'm wondering if it'll be more confusing to list them as-is, or to use extra words to point out that they overlap.
