The wording as drafted is deliberate. Browser implementations in
particular are crucial to consider when assessing success. There are
historical reasons to emphasize that. See XHTML2 and treating DTDs not
being rejected by validating XML tools as "implementations", etc.

I think the charter should emphasize browser implementations in
success criteria as drafted.
