Smith,
I think as long as we have clients and printers that implement the good, better, or best behaviors in sections 4-7 and the required bits in section 8, then we can claim sufficient prototyping to advance the document to stable status.
And it might make sense to add a Conformance Requirements section that specifically states the minimum conformance requirements (which we can use/treat as minimum prototype requirements).
