Whether it is true or not the perception will be that the proposed 
working group is rubber-stamping a specification.  The wording for 
the proposed charter sounds like the IETF does not have change 
control over the specification it is publishing.  Such an approach 
has been tried with various degrees of success.  Lack of change 
control causes unhappiness; it generates more work for WG Chairs and 
increases the probability of process issues.

It's easier to let a draft that will be used as an input document 
stand on its own merit instead of wordsmithing charter language to 
ensure a particular outcome.
