They tend to be regular snapshots of Editor's Drafts, and the procedure for getting to Working Draft doesn't require that they be complete or stable, or that they have no known major problems, or that everyone necessarily supported their publication. The procedure is usually to publish a snapshot of the Editor's Draft every once in a while as a Working Draft. Only Last Call and higher levels (Candidate Recommendation, Proposed Recommendation, Recommendation) have meaningful publication requirements. As a result, referring to Working Drafts is usually a waste of time, since they're just outdated snapshots of Editor's Drafts. The W3C Editor's Draft for Microdata is here: http://dev.w3.org/html5/md/ (it's currently the same as the Working Draft, I think, but this will change as it's updated). The WHATWG version of microdata, which has identical contents to the W3C version (they're generated by the same person from the same source document) but is organized differently and has some extra features like status tags and a comment box, is here: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/microdata.html#…
