The idea is that community groups can provide input to Working Groups,
so that if there was enough traction - e.g. several W3C Members or (more
excitingly to the W3C staff perhaps) several companies or organizations
that would join to do the work :-), we'd charter a new Working Group.

But that Working Group could start with what was done here, and might be
able to proceed quickly.

Useful things to consider - relationship of the work to HTML 5/HTML.ng;
relationship of the work to Efficient XML Interchange (EXI); whether
changes to XPath would be appropriate, like the experiments with a
revision history / time XPath axis presented at XML Prague a year or two
ago.
