Success Criteria of the WebApps WG [was: Re: CfC to publish DeviceOrientation Event CR Snapshot - review by 11 March]

hi WebApps WG members,

We sincerely apologize for a mistake made during the recent rechartering 
of the WebApps WG.

As Anssi and Marcos pointed out in a previous discussion, when we were 
updating the document with the latest template, a critical paragraph was 
overlooked and removed [1]:
[[
In order to advance to Candidate Recommendation and to add features 
after reaching Candidate Recommendation, each feature is expected to be 
supported by at least two implementations, which may be judged by 
factors including existing implementations, expressions of interest, and 
lack of opposition.
]]

This paragraph has a great influence on the implementation of the 
specifications in the group. The co-chairs will follow up on the issue 
and find a compact way to fix it.

Thanks.
