Instead, proposal for respective API sort mappings should be actively communicated to the browser vendors and the group should be open for discussion here.

It has been in the spec for years, and browser vendors have declined to implement. moving the spec to recommendation involves trimming unimplemented features ,as they don't meet the requirements for a rec.
I don't think its Chaals intention to bin the sorting alogorithm, but to move it out of HTML5.1 where it is not appropriately included.
