Obviously, all groups are free to discuss the future, and so on. In pure theory, yes. In practice, we all know this is not how it too often goes for new work items appearing during the course of a charter. Work almost always start unchartered, happens in the mailing-list of the WG, takes WG time during calls and ftfs and remains an Editor's Draft the time needed to become "cleaner" and is in legal limbos. We'll have some day a big problem... In practice again, like it or not, unchartered spec work starts because _Members_ cannot and don't want to wait. This is again a question of adapting our rules to our practice. </Daniel>
