CSS 2.1 is a good example. We've had plenty of confusion there too with the TR/ version being hopelessly behind (and still is; lots of changes have been made since September 2009).

I guess this discussion is around the

* compromise between Stability vs Implementability
* and maybe also markup, technologies users.

There are people with different needs with regards to specifications and the W3C has to find a way which will make it possible to cater the different type of communities.

Usually,

* implementers need a document which evolves quickly depending on the feedback
* web developers/designers need a document which is stable.

Maybe the W3C could "rebrand" the thing (using tools) with a developer edition and a public edition? I will ping Ian Jacobs about it. It fits into the discussions going on these days.

Don't developers/designers want to know the latest details too? E.g. that "autobuffer" is now named "preload" and takes a different value?
