At this point the portions of the API dealing with core VR functionality (essentially: anything needed to replace WebVR) are "locked in". Unless we encounter major issues affecting the API's usability or security from this point forward we will be doing everything we can to avoid breaking backwards compatibility. We want browser vendors to feel secure in implementing the API and developers to feel confident that they can start creating content with it without the rug being pulled out from under them, and that starts today!

There's still plenty of room for improvement in the spec, and we expect that we'll continue to tweak the behavior under the hood in ways that don't have major impact on applications using it for the sake of consistency, security, and clarity. There will be plenty of work to keep us busy right up through TPAC and beyond!

These are not considered to be part of the VR complete stability milestone, since they are AR-focused. We will be breaking those out into a separate module over the next couple of weeks to allow work to continue on them in parallel while we finish up the "core" spec. Also, for the sake of avoiding confusion we'll be waiting until the modules split has been completed to cut the next Working Draft.
