Do you think that the documents would have been more useful if
they had shipped two years earlier at a lower "quality" level?

I don't know if there is enough information available (in your
own mind or elsewhere) to answer this question.  But, were
the last two years spent tuning a set of documents?  Or did
it just take too long to resolve the fundamental disagreements
and reach consensus on the issues?
