Just fine.

We have become used to adding new implemented features to our documentation [1], and I think we will continue to do so. We tend to defer documenting functionality that is still being discussed, even though it has already been added to the W3 draft documents.

Betreff: Implementation status of PRs

Would anyone object if we were add tags/labels to completed PRs indicating, for example "implemented in Saxon 12" or "implemented in Saxon 13"?

This would help us internally to track our progress in implementing the changes, and I think it might also be a convenient way to communicate with the user community: reading the "changes" file that we currently use to indicate what changes we have made in each release doesn't provide a great way for users to discover exactly what is in and what is not. The fact that the specs themselves link to PRs means that a user reading the spec would be able quickly to discover whether the feature is available.

Of course we would be happy for other implementors to add similar tags.
