I would delete the "The incremental, distributed, and consensus-driven
standards development process adopted by the IETF can lead to" because
there is no proof (or even hint) that the problem of "inconsistencies
and ambiguities" would be solved by a more formal and bureaucratic
top-down process.

Also, may be we could add in the charter references to relevant RFC
(RFC 4977) and existing work
such as draft-mcquistin-augmented-ascii-diagrams or to past work such
as the FSM BoF at IETF 68 in Prague
