I understand that the W3C has periodic "moratoriums" on publishing
surrounding major conferences and holiday periods. Human nature being what
it is, as soon as a group is denied the ability to publish something, they
suddenly must have it.

Thus, the final week or so before a moratorium tends to be filled with many
publications, amplifying the natural clumpiness of the random process.

In one case (10 Query and XSL documents), this is because of the tight
relationship between the parts.

In the others, it's just the lumpiness of random processes, as far as
I know.
