It absolutely is, but I find that it is a much better idea to write
abstract based on concrete, than the other way around.

The reason why I responded with my list is that I did not read your
proposed charter as supporting getting from the A we have to the B
we, or at least I, want.

In particular there was no mention of formalizing the semantics/transport
split that gave me an indication that this was to even be a, and
certainly not *the*, major goal.

To me, your charter sounds like the httpbis WG will graft a single new
transport protocol onto HTTP/1.1bis and call it HTTP/2.0.

If I can read it that way, I leve to your imagination what headline
ComputerWorld will put on it.
