People often don't know to look at the editor's draft and they wind up looking at docs the WG has gone beyond. So, we should publish regular WDs where the editor's draft has changed as often as possible.
I agree WDs should be published if the ED has had what I'll call "relatively substantial" changes (since its previous publication in /TR/). However, I generally don't support publishing new WDs if changes are only non-substantive.
I don't closely monitor the progress of all of WebApps' specs (~40 if widget specs are included). My expectation is that group members will contribute to their priority specs and if/when someone (and not just Editors) thinks a new WD should be published, they should propose so on this list. At the same time, we must also acknowledge our Editors have other priorities besides editing thus non-Editors that want a new WD published should be willing to help out if some minor editorial work is needed (e.g. updating the Status of the Document section).
