There was some discussion about this a while ago on www-style[1],
based on which Tantek Çelik sketched the following proposal:

The proposal concludes that the right time would be after the spec
reaches Candidate Recommendation-status, albeit with certain
exceptions.

While this doesn't necessarily apply to WebKit, it should be kept in mind.
