I don't really want to get into the business of gathering user data (not
to mention being compliant with EU cookie laws). I also don't think this
would help us very much to identify non-W3C scenarios, as those  don't
necessarily rely on the Specref.
 
To answer your question more directly, I think you should cater to the
community you want to grow and not try to be everything to everyone.
