I have no problems with the specification referencing a mental model of the current implementation so long as it cannot be misinterpreted as saying "and this is therefore how it should be done". By all means document that this is how current browsers operate, but do not constrain future development by suggesting that this is the only possible model : future browser implementors may find a far better model that the current generation have inadvertently overlooked.
