Re: [charter-html] Indicate relationship with the WHATWG (#112)

Thanks, this is a useful addition.

However, even though I'm fine with what's written, I'm was expecting more information.

For instance, the w3c process isn't really designed for tracking documents that are being maintanined somewhere else at the same time, so clarification about how it applies would be appreciated. If someone objects to a change the whatwg makes to the spec on the whatwg's mailing list, and the web platform wg copies over that change, does that comment count as an objection? Do comments on the whatwg's mailing list count as wide review for the sake of a CR transition? Is the answer different depending on whether the documents are identical or not?

What kind of differences between the WHATWG's version and the W3C's version are expected? If the goal of this duplication IPR protection only, we should not merely "make an effort to work with the WHATWG editors to avoid differences", but actually keep the documents identical, at least as far as normative text is concerned. If there's more than this, then spelling out that goal explicitly would be helpful to know what kind of differences are expected or acceptable.

Maybe it is naïve to expect such information in a charter, but without it, it is not clear to me what the WG is being tasked to do.
