The purpose of the “Level 1” document is to serve as a stable reference
for W3C specs that link to WebIDL. It contains a subset of the WebIDL
syntax that is considered stable (as verified by interoperable tests).
Implementations should not use the Level 1 document as a guide, but
instead track changes to the editors draft. We expect to follow-up
Level 1 with a Level 2 as additional editor’s draft syntax and behavior
stabilizes, are implemented as part of other specs, and shown to be
interoperable.
Why is it acceptable for specs to reference a version of Web IDL that
nobody should implement?
That's not what Travis describes. To restate his message above, the Level
1 spec is "what people already implement". The Level 2 editor's draft is
"what you should look at if you want to make a new implementation with all
the new stuff - but be aware that some if it is up for debate and might
change".
cheers
