What is this supposed to mean in the website?

   > Not Ready For Implementation

   > This spec is not yet ready for implementation. It exists in this repository to record the ideas and promote discussion.

It means that the web is built on top of a bunch of working draft specifications.

If you work in the web space you quickly learn to shrug, double check that browsers do actually implement this version, and proceed.

It means that the spec is a draft and that it hasn't been finished yet (there may still be bits missing or wrong). But it is clearly already so much better than the old version.
