Reading the comments and converted into normal language and understanding this issue essentially translates to:
What is it we're *really* going to standardize [1]?
I think this verifies my firm belief that you need a fairly detailed, tested, and agreed-upon "input specification" *before* you start. Although the "blank paper" approach may appear more open, it doesn't work particularly well in practice. Another solution is to have a very "permissive" charter that enable members to follow whatever workable path they find during the voyage.
That is, the Web Payment IG/WG is currently best characterized as a research project.
This is also implied by the charter which mentions dependencies on other groups' not yet published findings.

1] *Recommend* is the charter's most recent way of expressing the goals
