Quick answer: No, you probably have to wait 6-8 weeks for that, but it
probably won't be changing in that time...

A longer answer:

It hs not been finalied, it is a W3C Candidate Recommendation, meaning the
Working Group thinks it is done and are looking for implementation
experience.

They have basically finished with that phase, and are ready to request
that it be a Proposed Recommendation - which means the Working Group is
ure they are done, and it is up to the W3C Director to suggest this be
released, get feedback from the W3C members, and presumably release it.

While it is not formally a done deal at this stage, it is pretty rare for
a Proposed Recommendation not to move forward to recommendation. In the
normal course of affairs it might be formally released in 6-8 weeks.

Again, normally, the spec doesn't change from this point, although it has
happened before and is possible. If so, you would also expect to wait
longer.

My hunch is that this is unlikely, and that in about 8 weeks you can
expect a formal release that looks pretty much like what you see today in
the spec, but there is still a possibility that it doesn't happen like
that.
