terminology - What is the difference between a W3C Working Draft and an Editor's Draft? -

i'm reading xmlhttprequest level 2 specification (w3c working draft 07 september 2010) after noticed browsers implementing features described editor's draft has eliminated many things.

which difference between working draft , editor's draft?

a working draft document has been officially published grouping developing it, means members of grouping have agreed in state worth sharing wider audience (generally feedback purposes — not mean participants agree in document).

an editor's draft document beingness worked on person in charge of writing (the editor).

you can think of more or less in software terms: wd dot release, or @ to the lowest degree tag, while ed absolute freshest version latest commit.

deciding whether 1 should @ wd or ed depends largely on civilization of grouping working on specification. in case webapps group, improve @ ed since far more reflect current fast-moving thinking goes on on mailing list. same tends apply other groups develop apis.

a word of caution: before specification has been implemented , shipped, specification. should careful not infer various vendors participating in grouping implementing is, or @ all. purpose of making specifications available early, while beingness developed, gather broadest possible feedback — not create form of promise (at to the lowest degree not before reach maturity level higher wd).
