A bunch of lab implementations that managed to interoperate in a bake-off is not an indication of something ready for Internet Standard. But don’t you agree that publishing a document with the bunch of lab implementations is better than publishing it without them?

5% of the HTTP requests seen by Google is very different from "close to 
zero" (source: <http://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2015/02/10/http2-is-at-5/>).

The HTTP/2 implementations in Firefox, Chrome and a bunch of highly used 
sites (such as Google and Twitter) are *not* "lab implementations".

Other than that, I agree that the we continue to have a too-high-bar for 
Proposed Standards.
