Absolutely. Mad Sparks told me once that the business of standards was to make money explaining a standard once it was published. Ok for then, but these days, if it isn't clear coming out of the consortium, it won't get clearer by application. If the intent is to let implementors debug it, make sure it stays a draft for a long time. If a gorilla steps up and says, I need that finalized to meet my business model, then insist on them putting up some money for technical editors under the explicit direction of the W3C contact.
