i agree, the task force work is just the start. But i haven't yet understood a use case for which xml-er would be a solution to a problem. Did i miss it?

Speaking as a member of the HTML/XML TF (but not on its behalf) I'm not sure that the report is Rec material. We were asked a question and we have provided our best considered consensus answer. We publish it as a WG Note to "indicate that work has ended on a particular topic" (Process §7.1.3). I don't see the value in moving it to Rec, it has no normative content and it's not something "W3C recommends the wide deployment" thereof (§7.1.2).

No one is saying that it is, but it is one avenue of exploration identified by the TF, and the XML-ER CG is carrying out that investigation. If it does turn out to be a good idea, the CG can hand it over to XML Core, which in turn can choose to make a Rec.
