Is this your summary or does it come from a document, and if a document,
can you send a link? The 2014 process [1] says:

"7.2.4 Implementation Experience

Implementation experience is required to show that a specification is
sufficiently clear, complete, and relevant to market needs, to ensure that
independent interoperable implementations of each feature of the
specification will be realized. While no exhaustive list of requirements
is provided here, when assessing that there is adequate implementation
experience the Director will consider (though not be limited to):

* is each feature of the current specification implemented, and how is
this demonstrated?
* are there independent interoperable implementations of the current
specification?
* are there implementations created by people other than the authors of
the specification?
* are implementations publicly deployed?
* is there implementation experience at all levels of the specification's
ecosystem (authoring, consuming, publishing…)?
* are there reports of difficulties or problems with implementation?

Planning and accomplishing a demonstration of (interoperable)
implementations can be very time consuming. Groups are often able to work
more effectively if they plan how they will demonstrate interoperable
implementations early in the development process; for example, they may
wish to develop tests in concert with implementation efforts."

I presume the answer to all the questions is supposed to be 'yes', but
that's not clear.
