AFAIK they have the format's coding schemes laid out for a long time now, so while it has not been yet finalised and still being investigated, it is not like the format design is at the beginning.
Sure. But few features survive intact between draft design and implementation .

For myself personally, I start really paying attention to codecs when I can actually make and playback a bitstream that doesn't something notable and new. It sounds like Daala is at least a couple years out from being able to do a real end-to-end test of a reasonably complete implementation of a reasonably final bitstream spec.
