Indeed. Experience shows that the result will most likely be a REC that can't actually be implemented without breaking web compat, so UAs will either not follow the REC or errata will be needed on an ongoing basis. Which raises the question of why such a REC is better than a CR that is updated based on implementation and testing feedback. I would really like to understand the reasons why W3C Management thinks it is. -Boris
