You should look into the process CSS specs are now following.  The
recommendation is published as a Candidate Recommendation.  This means it is
not final.  It stays that way until there are at least two interoperable
implementations.  Then if no major problems were noted during the
implementation process the status is changed to a Recommendation; at this point
the standard is considered "finished" (modulo errata, which should hopefully
not be needed).
