The Wikipedia article is very enlightening:) I encourage others to
read it.

Ooh, that ring diagram is an excellent model for
W3C recommendations. It looks to me like a throbber, which
makes it all the more appropriate fro W3C (and also makes me
unreasonably biased in its favour) since apparently that was
an idea popularized, if not actually invented, by NCSA Mosaic.
At least, so says Wikipedia, and how could that possibly be
wrong? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throbber
But I'm not sure whether it would be right to copy the same
idea for an OASIS standard. I'm happy enough with the
thermometer metaphor, but probably would be equally happy with
other clever ideas.

FYI, there's a W3C document that displays six maturity levels
in terms of a ring (looks like a battery charger display):

That document also indicates "Stability" and recent activity
on the draft(s)

I like the thermometer idea.
And somebody, probably Kris, needs to post to DITA
Users with the status
and a clear explanation of what it means.
