Just pointing out the new CG charter could include extensions to what 
the CG is passing to the proposed WG for features and use cases the 
group has already discussed that are not far enough along to transfer to 
the WG now.  The CG could work on them in new CG extension specs like 
the HTML WG does with new features.  When they were ready, they could be 
transferred to the WG.

The idea would be things fairly settled would get passed to the proposed 
WG by publishing a final CG (extension) spec on it that covers what's 
already fairly solid that the CG wants to transfer to the WG.  That 
could be extensions to the spec that was transferred or new specs.  The 
WG would work on things that were fairly solid and the CG could explore 
new possibilities where it wasn't clear yet how to do it.

The WG and CG could recharter periodically to reflect what was 
transferred to the WG and what new specs were to be worked on, like now 
with this first transfer.

The CG charter says: "The group will ONLY produce Specifications listed 
here. To add any additional specifications, the Charter must be amended 
by the process described below. All deliverables for which the CLA 
patent section applies must be designated as such here."   That's for 
the same reason WGs do that, so Legal departments can have an idea of 
what they'd be licensing.  So the CG would need to amend its charter to 
reflect stopping work on what it transfers and working on new specs 
(including extension specs).
