If I could make a humble suggestion, perhaps it makes sense to have
WHATWG produce a 0.9 version based on Hixie's latest draft or whatnot.
 This is akin to what happened with HTTP...

I just feel that if the IETF-governed protocol takes into account
real-world feedback from non-browser devs, that the protocol may look
different enough that a 1.0->1.1 won't be significant enough to
reflect the differences.
