What you're describing is the opposite of the whole point of specifications. The aim wasn't to circle around a single implementation, it was to define feature specifications that would allow multiple vendors to build cross-compatable web browsers.

What would be the point of open specifications if there was only a single implementation?

I never said there was? When you write the first implementation then there will only be a single implementation, but that's how counting works. 1 comes after 0. Anyone is free to write another implementation.
