Yes, you can, it's called an alpha version. This is very clearly the
case of an API that may change and for which the authors do not
guarantee that they won't break compatibility. WGs don't generally
object to having people implement drafts early, so long as said people
make it clear to their customers that they're not selling a stable
long term solution, and so long as they don't claim conformance to
anything.

If anyone is getting the impression that WD=CR=PR=Rec the vendors are
to blame I'm afraid.
