Re: [w3c/editing] [charter] Define the Success Criteria (#281)

Hey @BoCupp-Microsoft ,
actually I thought it was better to have not so measurable targets. As it is now, we are very much restricted by the requirements of having 2 implementations lined up right from the start of the spec development process - which for example means that EditContext is kind of out of scope for us as it is now. The point is that it doesn't matter whether we are producing 1 spec or 150 specs over the next few years. If 1 spec is enough to make it be possible to create a text editor, then that is enough and the WG has been successful in its task. On the other hand, if we produce 500 specs yet even with all those it still is way too complicated to create a richtext editor on the web, then we have failed.

That being said, I don't mind changing the success criteria to something else. It should just a) not prevent us from working on specs that are important to achieve said goal and b) it should not make us working on countless specs that achieve basically nothing just to keep the numbers up. The way you have stated the goals from the CSSWG, that sounds fairly general and something like that we could adopt as long as it stays general and doesn't get into too many specifics.
