[Tagging] Proposal: Rename wiki status "Approved" to "Published"

[Chris Hill]

'Endorsed' is just another way of saying approved. We need to remove 
this status that 'some authority' has given their blessing to use the tag.

'Published' is a useful statement which demonstrates community 
discussion and some consensus but nothing else.
