What I am uncomfortable with is that criterion being *selectively* applied to this draft as a prerequisite for progress. 

I think there are good grounds in this case.  There is (apparently) no vendor interest, but it's also a very vague document, where if any vendors do decide to implement, it's highly likely that those implementations will result in different host behaviour.  Thus exploring interpretations of the draft on specific platforms, and observing the resulting behaviours and interactions, seems a pretty prudent step.  This may help refine the draft to be more specific, and uncover perspectives that as yet have not been considered.  It's not like the draft needs to be rushed through quickly.
