Have you looked at the draft charter for the renewal of the CSS WG[0]? 
It has similar words while not going quite as far. I think you might 
want to take a look at it and provide specific comments along those

integration instead of unhelpful differences and ancient quibbles is 
imho headed in the right direction.
