The IG should be identifying use cases and requirements. The work of  
fixing HTML, or making new APIs, or whatever is required, belongs in  
existing or new working groups, not the IG.

That was deliberate. Evaluating the alternatives - selecting a solution  
and developing it - is something that should be done in a Working Group,  
not in the Interest Group.

I wanted to be general enough that we could cover both existing terminals  
and devices under development.

Makes sense to me. I would add an explicit note to say that where there is  
consensus that existing work done in a different organisation is the most  
appropriate solution, it should reference that work rather than duplicate  
it.
