I doubt that most readers of the Netflix blog follow the link to read a
"specification".

Correct. As I wrote: The claim on the blog is that the document is a
"W3C specification".

BTW: An anecdote (which is not meant as a comparison with any members of
these W3C lists). A few years ago I have seen a document written by a
lawyer who claimed that a certain factual statement was contained in a
certain paragraph of a special expensive legal book. It turned out that
the paragraph contained the *exact* opposite factual statement. In that
case the intended audience was one person: a judge. The expectation of
the lawyer obviously was that neither the judge nor myself had access to
the book to verify that factual statement. The lie did not help the
lawyer and his client (the German subsidiary of The SCO Group, Inc.).
