Of course we will need to discuss between Harald, Francois and myself (as well 
as getting the new WG to agree), but spontaneously this feels like a very good 
way forward.

A question: filing bugs feels like something you do when the problem (and 
possibly the solution) is quite clear. But would not a bug filing in many cases 
be preceeded by a discussion, especially for stuff like WebRTC where new 
concepts (like peer-to-peer communication) and solutions are introduced? I 
think there will be a need for a lot of discussions (presumably via mail) as we 
move forward.

Cool, thanks Mike.

One other advantage with using Bugzilla, come to think of it, is that the bug 
filing mechanism in the WHATWG specs are already set up to automatically file 
bugs in the right components in the W3C Bugzilla.
