To be fair, it's a Working Draft, not a spec. To quote the draft at 
http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-logfile.html

  It is inappropriate to use W3C Working Drafts as reference material or 
  to cite them as other than "work in progress".

It's a pity Microsoft didn't document why the ignored the draft (the use 
of milliseconds and URL-encoding are improvements, in my opinion). It 
might have triggered a move to finally upgrade the 4 year old draft to a 
standard.

By the way, I remeber the question being asked when this came up before, 
but I don't remember the answer. Does Apache log Time Taken in 
milliseconds?
