Hi Alex,

I believe there isn't much of a point in cleaning it up the spec, going
through the process of getting it approves and then starting over with a
complete specification.
Since not many browsers will implement the limited spec, it's better to get
everything in. There isn't much of mystery what should be in.

There's also the intent to make compositing apply to HTML content so the
spec will most likely move to CSS.
I will definitely try my best not to let it stagnate.

I will break up my reply in pieces so we don't get lost.
