I don't understand what you mean here. Laurens' point was that the specifications are ahead of the implementations -- no implementation has completely implemented all existing CR and REC specifications, they all have significant work to do before being considered complete implementations. Thus they are not being held back by the CSS working group's progress, they have plenty of work ahead of themselves before they catch up with the group.
