I added the statement saying that known implementations *should* be
documented as a general requirement for transitions. It doesn't require
searching for all implementations.
Given a public spec that is useful, and an implementing public that is
busy and sometimes quite secretive, the argument that a Working Group
*knows* all the implementers seems to me somewhere between naive and
stupidly arrogant.
It also doesn't tell the group how to decide what is or isn't an
implementation - but then, it also allows them to say "X is believed to b
working on an implementation" which is useful implementation (if true).
This isn't perfect, it is just information that is helpful to the WG,
those watching the WG. Which is why it is only a should.
cheers
