Different parts of the spec having different levels of maturity is identified as a problem at the WHATWG, and we're working on a way to add markers to different sections of the spec to indicate the maturity. A section could well be considered standalone (e.g. canvas), have it's own test suite, and be proved interoperable between implementations, while still not having to be split out of the spec. Splitting things out comes at a cost (more work for the editor(s)) and I think the benefits of doing so can be achieved anyway. (Currently the markers only indicate "to be written", "work in progress" and "self-contained section". There still isn't an easy way to update them, but as I said, we're working on it. Contributions welcome.) -- Simon Pieters
