Re: [HASMAT] moving forward - WG name

[Tobias Gondrom <[e-mail]>]

 believe "websec" was proposed during BOF meeting and actually "hasmat"
reminded me of "hazardous materials" at first, so would support to go
for a different name if people like to.
Have no problem if the name is general, after all the charter and not
the name determines WG scope (and as the name will stay even if you may
recharter at some point, so general can rather be an advantage for a name).

htsec is fine for me, too (though personally I may slightly prefer websec).
Would be against webappsec due to ambiguity and actually adding "app" in
the middle doesn't help and makes the name unnecessarily long (there are
practical benefits from short WG names).

would agree with websec
