On one hand, you have more websites-done-right and it enables a widespread usage of webapps, on the other hand, you have increased noise in the discussions on what the next steps should be. I say tomato, you say tomato. Can you imagine how CSS2.x would have turned out if they kept discussing it to death? We'd never have a final version of the document. Or would we? I agree with Zeldman, a glacial pace isn't all that negative, per se. The web is boiling with webstandards adepts... we can't rush into any solution just to force everyone to step back a year down the road. But I'm also with you on that secret wish. ;) It’s one of the “downsides” of having so much people aware of webstandards.
