I'm not entirely sure how the maturity levels map between the IETF and the W3C. The sniffing spec is likely going to be part of the HASMAT working group, which is starting up in the IETF. I don't expect the algorithm itself to change much from its current form. Most of the discussion has been centering on how it relates to other specs, such as HTTP, and who should be require/allowed to implement the algorithm.
