Well, the WG can *look at* whatever it wants, but it can only issue normative guidance about what's in its charter, which is why I bring it up now, in the context of a charter that won't trigger debate elsewhere in the W3C. I can't imagine a way of bringing bridges into scope without triggering valid W3C concerns and lots of political calculus, and without overriding the original spec's deliberate decision to keep authentication out of scope. This is why I already suggested that interop profiles, authentication profiles, and bridges (which rely on the former two) stay in the CG, as they are in Dmitri's proposed charter. I don't think we are stable enough or aligned or consensual enough on the meaning of the current version to bring major-version questions (or major breakage) into scope; the more we leave in the CG, the sooner (and safer) we can parallelize work on a minor version without disrupting incubation and extension.
