status of Resource Timing

I was asked <https://twitter.com/samsaffron/status/255395384011157504> a
simple question, "has there been any progress on the resource timings api".
I turned to the "Status of this document"
section<http://www.w3.org/TR/resource-timing/> but
it has some mistakes and is hard to understand. I've appended the section
below with my comments inlined.

Can we improve this section across all Web Performance Working Group
documents?

Thanks.

W3C publishes a Candidate
Recommendation<http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/tr.html#maturity-levels>to
indicate that the document is believed to be stable and to encourage
implementation by the developer community.

> Recommendation..."


The entrance criteria for this document to enter the Proposed
Recommendation stage is to have a minimum of two independent and
interoperable user agents that implementation all the features of this
specification, which will be determined by passing the user agent tests
defined in the test suite developed by the Working Group.

The Working Group does not expect to advance to Proposed Recommendation
prior to 27 September 2012. A preliminary implementation
report<http://www.w3.org/2012/05/resource-timing-cr-report.html>is
available and will be updated during the Candidate Recommendation
period. This is a work in progress and may change without any notices.

The Working Group intends to gain implementation experience before
recommending implementations to remove their vendor prefixes.

> There's a typo around "recommending implementations to remove their". I
> think striking out "to" is the fix: "recommending implementations remove
> their".
