Since the AWWW document explicitly disclaims having any conformance requirements, it's not a specification.  So that's not a compelling example.

In my opinion, if compliance is not cut and dry, then that's a failure of the specifications.  If specifications frequent fail in this way after adoption of the QA Framework as a Recommendation (if and when that happens), that's a failure of the QA Framework - not specifically the content, since marketing of the Frameork is a separate issue (and probably much more relevant to the success of the Framework).
