I think the underlying objection here is that we don't want to get
in a situation where multiple implementations are shipping a feature
that doesn't have a specification.  I don't think that something
being in Tab's backlog of specification editing in an acceptable
resolution to that, given the size of his backlog.

I also don't want to be in a situation where Tab is the single
person gating new features; other people should be able to edit CSS
specifications, particularly when given appropriate mentoring and
advice.

So I'd be substantially happier here if there were a specification
before a second implementation shipped, but I also think getting
that specification done shouldn't require any one particular person
to be involved.
