I think you're assuming a tighter coupling between layers than actually 
exists.

In particular -- since you're talking about browsers -- it would easy to 
implement the current draft entirely in content JavaScript. In doing so, 
it would be impossible for the implementation to prevent its use over 
HTTP/1.1 (or QUIC): aside from some proprietary browser-specific APIs, 
there's no way for such an implementation to even tell what version of 
HTTP is in use, much less prevent certain queries from going out over 
unwanted ones.

This all bears more on the specified solution than the charter, but I 
suspect that (after a reasonable back-and-forth in the ensuing working 
group), one reasonable outcome will be that the mechanism works over 
HTTPS in general, simply because it will be too much of an 
implementation burden to prevent it from doing so.

I'd rather not preclude the ability to have that discussion in the 
working group by foreclosing it in the charter language.
