I think it means "doesn't recognize the concept of a reference
implementation": i.e. the standard doesn't endorse any one implementation.
In that respect it's the same as the W3C process.

I think it's probably a good thing as well. The experience with JAXP over
the years has been that features of the Apache implementation have come to
be regarded as de facto provisions of the specification; that's not a good
way to encourage interoperable implementations.
