The authoring usage note says it might return "interactive". The implementation requirements that follow do not define that value.

EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment. If you are
satisfied with this response, please change the state of this bug to CLOSED. If
you have additional information and would like the Editor to reconsider, please
reopen this bug. If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML
Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest
title and text for the Tracker Issue; or you may create a Tracker Issue
yourself, if you are able to do so. For more details, see this document:

   http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html

Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: The implementation requirements right afterward say "Various algorithms during page loading affect this value", and indeed the HTML parser sets readyState to "interactive" when it's done:

http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/complete.html#the-end

So it looks like there's no spec bug here.
