I guess this discussion is around the 

* compromise between Stability vs Implementability
* and maybe also markup, technologies users.

There are people with different needs with regards to specifications and the W3C has to find a way which will make it possible to cater the different type of communities.

Usually,

* implementers need a document which evolves quickly depending on the feedback
* web developers/designers need a document which is stable.

Maybe the W3C could "rebrand" the thing (using tools) with a developer edition and a public edition?
I will ping Ian Jacobs about it. It fits into the discussions going on these days.
