Tobie kicked up some dust here:

I can't seem to track down pointers right when I need them, but this spurred a fair amount of commentary, including from some people who work for implementers agreeing that the current situation is stupid and needs to be fixed.

Sure, I'm happy for the work on this to take place in the NWA CG since that seems like a fit home for it, but it needs a place to be properly standardised. My hope is that this place can be the WebApps WG. Given that the discussion would take place elsewhere, and that the result is pretty much in charter, I would hope that this should be agreeable to all.
