I think the important point to keep in mind here is that we need to move forward to sound specs based on commercial implementation. The burden is on those who "understand" the proposals + trac + RI to translate them into implementation and spec for others to evaluate. This is a short step forward for all but the deepest proposals. For the more fundamental changes, the proposal format has and will continue to be unsatisfactory.
To address some of the concerns expressed last week, Lars has updated John Resig's ES4 status spreadsheet at http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pFIHldY_CkszsFxMkQOReAQ&gid=2 He has added references to some of the materials supporting each feature. We also intend to add a column to indicate the bakedness of each feature. For people who are more interested in self-standing specs, some will be coming in the next few weeks.
