​If something is in the charter and there's an initial draft spec, that
doesn't mean the final spec will be the same or that the WG has to
ultimately approve the spec at all, does it? Both of these ideas are
promising attempts to address particular security issues that are prevalent
on the web. They also both raise issues that may or may not be addressable
as the WG refines the specs. As long as we can object to the final specs if
they go off the rails these concepts are worth exploring.
