Re: [DAS & TAG] Charter Review Bullet Point 5

   hi Léonie, everyone,

   thank you filing an issue on this as w3c/charter-drafts #810.

   I've opened a PR for #810 as:
https://github.com/w3c/charter-drafts/pull/812


   Please note that these three lines are requested by external, like comment by Haik Aftandilian from Mozilla
https://github.com/w3c/charter-drafts/issues/771#issue-4024731496
 > We prefer to keep the existing note in the listing of the deliverable: "Note: This work may turn
 > into a joint deliverable with the Web Applications Working Group."
and also coordination with WebApps WG was specifically mentioned by WebApps co-chair as
https://github.com/w3c/strategy/issues/530#issuecomment-4073036726
 > Will require coordination with WebApps WG, so looping in @siusin too.


   best,

At least Mozilla seems inclined to start implementing that API, and we want it to live in a WG that all implementers are comfortable joining, to ensure that all of their potential concerns about engine/platform capabilities, privacy, and security can be easily raised. That said, its presence in this charter doesn't prevent it from being adopted by another WG instead.
