For context, the audience is the W3C TAG based on their review of solid:

https://github.com/w3c/strategy/issues/377#issuecomment-1790209071

"We encourage everything that comes for TAG review to include an explainer.
Your explainer is a living document that describes the current state of
your proposed web platform feature, or collection of features. In the early
phases of design, this may be as simple as a collection of goals and a
sketch of one possible solution. As your work progresses, the explainer can
help facilitate multi-stakeholder discussion and consensus-building. The
TAG would really value an explainer for each of the various pieces proposed
here, with user stories and details about the relationship to existing work
and considered alternatives."

I agree it's valuable to come to a community consensus on the vision before
moving to a Working Group.  Issue is that there might not be one *single*
vision.
