I am responding to feedback on these specs, just not on the schedule I 
described earlier this year. (For instance, I just committed a change to 
Web Storage.) My lack of urgency on getting things to CR stems primarily 
from my disillusionment with the entire process; Web specs should just be 
continuously maintained, having snapshots on the TR/ page seems to have 
only one positive side-effect, and that's the effect on the patent policy. 
Other than that it just provides a distraction that implementors and 
authors can end up referencing instead of the more up-to-date and 
continually maintained draft.

The drafts are actively maintained, and feedback is tracked and addressed. 
It's just not done with the goal of reaching the TR/ page, but rather with 
the goal of fostering interoperable implementations.
