Marking features "at risk" is W3C administrivia.  To quote from the
Process document, section 7.3.4:

  # In the Call for Implementations, the Working Group MAY identify
  # specific features of the technical report as being "features at
  # risk." General statements such as "We plan to remove any
  # unimplemented feature" are not acceptable; the Working Group
  # MUST precisely identify any features at risk. Thus, in response
  # to a Call for Implementations, reviewers can indicate whether
  # they would register a Formal Objection to the decision to remove
  # the identified features.
  #
  # After gathering implementation experience, the Working Group MAY
  # remove features from the technical report that were identified
  # as being "at risk" and request that the Director Call for Review
  # of a Proposed Recommendation. If the Working Group makes other
  # substantive changes to the technical report, the Director MUST
  # return it to the Working Group for further work.

It allows the group to advance a CR to PR and drop that feature
without going back to last call, but gives commenters a chance to
object to that dropping earlier in the process.


I'd rather the group spend time solving technical problems than
discussing what should or shouldn't be marked at risk, or fiddling
with the lists of what is at risk as features are implemented.  I
think we should basically mark all new features at risk any time a
document has multiple independent features, and then not spend any
more time discussing it.
