"Businesses know what they can rely on for HTML5 in the coming years, and what their customers will demand. Likewise, developers will know what skills to cultivate"
This is great, but the specs are nearly unfathomable from the perspective of what is usable and what is not.
For example, AFAICT, the 'stable' portion refers to this spec- http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/ http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/
Now for any 'modern' app, you probably want to use features such as FormData or typed arrays, which do not fall under this spec. As far as I can find, those are:
http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest2/ http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest2/
http://www.khronos.org/registry/typedarray/specs/latest/ http://www.khronos.org/registry/typedarray/specs/latest/
Which are not yet stable.
So we have this unreadable spec, which covers only a portion of the things available and is pretty much unusable. And it looks like all the browser makers are going through whatwg rather than w3c, so I don't know who the audience is.
