This is not a W3C specification, but an incubator group document.

I've updated the post. I think precious few people understand the difference, though.

yes agreed. The difference is that a W3C specification is a document which goes along the Rec Track AND has been through all the steps toward Recommendations (it means implementations and public review).
An incubator group is a setup between a few companies/organizations which are member of W3C. They are working solo without any support of W3C employees (around 65). It's very short, usually one year. They decide to explore a topic, collect their practices and eventually make a report with it. It is what is emotionml document. It is not a new exploration. The people involved in this work have been doing that for a long time outside of W3C before. They are using the publishing and meeting infrastructure to acheive their work, like a club. :)
