Which is probably why they link directly to the document on the W3C's site that is clearly labeled as an editor's draft of specification. I don't see anywhere where there is a claim that the document is 'final'. It's pretty common for standards bodies and so on to refer to their products by what they hope that they will be published as; people often ask "where is the XXX specification in the process?" and the answer for this one is "it is currently only in editor's drafts".
