That bar is too low. If we have interop on a usable set of important use
cases, but no interop on a large set other important use cases, we will have
created a large problem for Web authors.

I hope that the days are behind us when we could just bang out a feature
that works in some common cases and leave a lot of its behavior undefined.

I don't, as an implementor, but it seems weird for a CSS3 spec to only make
sense if you implement a CSS4 spec as well ... just from a version numbering
point of view.
