Sam, thanks for pursuing this.  I had misunderstood the timeline, and thought 
that Eliot was raising a post-chartering issue.

As we seem to agree, such issues do arise in working groups, so the question of 
seeking broad review of major decisions DURING the wg process is a valid issue, 
albeit apparently not this time.

My own, very strong bias on situations like the current one, certainly is to 
make a charter as precise and complete as possible.  The more a charter can 
state basic assumptions and constraints, the better, from what I have seen. 
Including conceptual and architectural impacts (or issues) can only be helpful.
