Any idea when the 1.0 spec will be out?

Indeed so. And I think this is very relevant to D's development process 
because it indicates that early Phobos/library development may not be as 
productive as late development, because with early development, more 
things may have to be changed afterwards. Perhaps this is the reason why 
Phobos is less mature that the rest of the toolchain(the compiler)?
Note, I'm not saying early Phobos development is never worthwhile, (that 
would likely depend on each particular case), I'm just pointing out too 
this general consideration.
