Seeing through the nonsense is easy when you know what to look for. Some signs that a standards-track design is safe to use ahead of final assent:
- signals from proposing vendor that they want to take it to standards (e.g., proposals in WICG or other venues with minimal IP donation as a requirement)
- high-quality design docs
- high-quality test suites
- implementations in at least one major project
Not the end-game, but together they signify much lower risk than detractors often assert.
