Should a reference implementation, even if slow, count?
My own opinion on this is no.
Since, for the most part, a reference implementation doesn't face the
performance and maintainability challenges that shipping software
faces, I don't think it fleshes out the same issues that a real-world
ES3 has several abstraction mechanisms:
* lambda abstraction, which it gets approximately as right as Scheme!
* objects as a generalization of records, which has some pros and
cons
* prototype-based sharing of common behavior, which is used almost
exclusively by JavaScript programmers to

Is there anywhere else I should be looking?

Is there a published specification that all these implementors will be

I'd like Apple and the WebKit project to get involved with ES4
implementation. But right now, as far as I can tell, there isn't a
written record for any of ES4's features that I could point an
engineer to and say implement this.
There's certainly no such spec, or you would be a passive
