I understand why it's not great, however, could you follow-up with specific reasons why it's "terrible"? I disagree with the characterization as "terrible", and think a formal objection based on vague fears at this point would be chicken-littling. OTOH, I think there are plenty of specific reasons why the past problems from HTMLWG are unlikely to manifest in the Web Platform WG, and I outlined those in my previous response in this thread. If you think my analyses in the reasons given are incorrect, I'm happy to be corrected. However I *do* think we should comment something like: Problems experienced in the HTMLWG may hamper the productivity of the new WG, and we suggest the chairs pay attention to, and swiftly respond to any similar misbehaviors they see in the new WG. Having such a comment on the record itself will help provide impetus to the chairs to respond swiftly if necessary. > I suspect Mike(TM) Smith would be happy to amplify the message internally.) I'm fairly certain Mike(tm) Smith would agree with the reasons I gave for why Web Platform WG is unlikely to have the same problems, based on private feedback I've received. I'm sure Mike can speak for himself if he strongly (dis)agrees one way or the other.

If there's specific downsides you've experienced with Web Apps WG, that's probably worth raising as comments on the charter, in the hopes that they get addressed, or at least as good heads-up signaling before deciding to take any particular spec you're working on elsewhere.
