Just to keep in mind when creating APIs that some parts of them may be useful in the browser context if there is a trust relationship, so modularize them so that part can be adopted if they want to adopt it.  That particularly applies to system information APIs that are excluded from DAP (and in this group) only due to fingerprinting concerns.

As Bryan suggested, this something that can be considered in the planned

charter is adequate, or should we add a sentence or two to make the idea
explicit?
