I think it's very important to have a new short specification. People
should not have to read hundreds of pages of core XML specs and then
be told to throw away most of them to understand MicroXML.

Something in between. A W3C Working Group has to have a defined charter
and list of deliverables; a Community Group is more informal and often
exploratory. We can design our charter as we go along, and then find
out what sort of deliverables there should be.
