The Charter also says "Per section 6.2.3 of the W3C Process document,  
any substantive changes to the charter (e.g. additional  
Recommendation-track documents not included in this charter) will  
follow the Advisory Committee Review process.".

In this case, it seems like we should follow the precedence used with  
the other specs that were split from HTML5 and moved to WebApps, thus  
this new spec would need to be added to WebApps Charter before  
WebApps can publish it.

Anyway, I'll ask the Team for advice on the way forward and we should  
move this administrative thread to WebApps Member list.
