The document contains "status" for specs, which is very misleading. It's wrong to confuse a document's maturity, stability, and actual implementation status (in actual browsers!!!) with the W3C process - which should be solely seen as a means of getting patent commitments.
In other words, you can have a REC that no one implements and few people care about (e.g., widgets, most of the semantic web specs, etc.).
