Re: [w3c/charter-html] Charter must state a reason when duplicating work done elsewhere (#139)

I have some doubts too, but under the circumstances, is it reasonable to grant a charter extension? Especially when this issue was raised on the previous 2 instances of this charter, and dealing with it in parallel has mean not dealing with it.

It goes both ways.

I am not sure I want to let the hope that this issue will be worked on if we approve charters that do not address it overrule the experience that it will be ignored until the next renewal, at which point we won't have time to handle such a thorny issue and will need to approve the charter so that work can proceed, but surely we'll deal with it before the 2021 charter. Or the one after.
