I've been reading through Daniel Glazman's comment on the charter [1], as well as the subsequent email thread started by Garth [2] I think the underlying concern is about how constrained the Publishing Working Group will be by the charter, by the Web Publications and UCR documents, and by the Publishing Business Group itself. Working groups exist to make the technical decisions necessary for a standard, but this case is unusual because of DPUB's prior work, and the new structures imposed by the IDPF combination. I think there's also some concern about the multiple profiles of web publications being talked about. Why we need WP, PWP, *and* EPUB4 as separate specifications is perhaps not obvious, both to those who haven't followed the discussions, and to some that have. Perhaps we can communicate that the DPUB documents are non-normative, only serve as inputs to the PWG, and that the PWG will have the final say on technical matters. Keep in mind that the new WG may have a broader spectrum of members, and a different consensus may be found than in DPUB.
