In terms of some past experience, there is a CSS3 Selectors Implementation Report Template [1], as well as instructions [2] to help with creating an implementation report. I believe these have worked well so far for the purpose intended. [1]: http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/CSS3/Selectors/20030915/implementreportTEMPLATE.html [2]: http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/CSS3/Selectors/report-instruct.txt In terms of future work, implementation reports are under discussion in some of the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) groups I'm in (Authoring Tools and Web Content) , but these specifications are described in terms of guidelines and success criteria (normative requirements), so it's possible that the approach taken to create implementation reports in these groups may be somewhat different than for other W3C specifications (like CSS), where the requirements are expressed in other ways.. Have to think about it some more..
