It seems like almost every rule we have makes use of draft specs. I went through the CG's repository, and found the following being used:

  1. https://www.w3.org/TR/svg-aam/
  2. https://www.w3.org/TR/html-aam/
  3. https://www.w3.org/TR/html-aria/
  4. https://www.w3.org/TR/using-aria/
  5. https://www.w3.org/TR/cssom-view/
  6. https://drafts.csswg.org/css-scoping/
  7. https://drafts.csswg.org/cssom-view/
  8. https://drafts.csswg.org/css-transforms/
  9. https://drafts.csswg.org/css2/
  10. https://drafts.csswg.org/css-transforms-2/
  11. https://drafts.csswg.org/selectors-3/

The reason for using drafts on CSSWG.org instead of on w3.org/TR/ is because many of them haven't been updated in years:

It is concerning that some of these have not had any updates in quite some time. The CSS scoping is a First Public Working draft that hasn't had an update since 2014. @nitedog I think we may need to connect with CSS WG leadership to see if we should be using these and what the plans and schedule are for moving them to Recommendation status.

CSSWG really dropped the ball on a lot of these, they should be up-to-date on /TR. (Alan had me audit all our specs, btw; you can see the result in this table and it's pretty bad.)

As for their status on the REC track, you might want to reference https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS/
