Re: [w3c/charter-html] Relation with WICG (#141)

Yours are good questions. I'd add a couple:

* Separately from evaluating whether incubation is a useful thing (the consensus seems to be that it is), I'd like to see evidence for or against incubation **in a separate group** being a net positive.

I expect the answer to vary depending on the working group, with socially cohesive groups working on integrated technologies preferring internal incubation, while more loosely connected groups would care less either way or maybe prefer external incubation.

* Related to your second question: does WICG succeed in attracting a diverse range of participants. If not, do we still have the ability once the spec gets in the WG for i18n, a11y, and all sorts of diverse stakeholders to impact substantive changes to the spec to address their concerns, or are we already too constrained by implementation inertia and compat concerns?

My guess would be that the feedback received during incubation is deep, but fairly narrow, and that our ability to still meaningfully change things is limited by the time it takes to transition, and by the relatively high bar we still place to get things out of incubation, and that we should maybe be more accepting of failure even after starting on TR to compensate.

But this is gut feeling based, not evidence based, so I don't actually know.
