Certainly "stable", "draft" and "proprietary" aren’t sufficient. There are many
features in Rec-level specs and not all browsers support them. Are those
stable? They’re certainly not drafts ;)

I think this is trying to mix browser support with standardization status in a
single label, and I have my doubts about whether that is useful or even
feasible. Sure, they are correlated, but they are different data. 

Perhaps summarizing browser support next to the standardization status would be
more useful and developers would get the information they need from these two
pieces of info very quickly.
