I'm not sure that I understand why you believe the "deadline" is
unexplained.  Take a look at the charter for this working group:

http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/atompub-charter.html

There are goals and milestones identified with due dates.  The working group
chairs have an obligation to keep the working group on track to meet those
milestones.  They can set interim goals for smaller tasks if they feel it's
necessary.

Given that the goals and milestones were agreed upon as part of the creation
of this working group, what's not clear?
