Case in point is http://www.w3.org/TR/navigation-timing/ which managed to get to REC while ignoring feedback that pointed out that not a single implementation actually matched the specification (including the ones produced by the employers of the editors). And this wasn't because the implementations were buggy, but because the specification was incomplete. Of course now that it's a REC getting it fixed is a major production; given that it didn't happen back when it should have I have no hope of it happening now. This is hardly an isolated incident with W3C specifications. In fact, and very unfortunately, it's the most common thing I see happening. -Boris
