Brian, in my experience working group adoption is more than the working 
group agreeing to work on the topic.  It is generally the working group 
agreeing that the given document is a good basis for starting the work. 
  Yes, there will almost always be need for improvement.  Sometimes 
major improvement.  But it is an agreement that this is a good starting 
point.

Without commenting on the specific document, leaving out that 
consideration in your response to Stephen makes the discussion MUCH harder.

Yours,
Joel
