In all fairness, they changed in response to feedback from the Mozilla implementors. To paraphrase you, if the spec didn't change, you would be a passive observer of a standardization process that was all but done. That's not reality, and it arguably is not what you should want -- Mozilla people are and hopefully will remain valued peers in the remaining work on HTML5. If you want to be passive implementors of a finished spec, then wait a few years.
