Clearly the latter will have many additions from the recent discussions, but it is less clear which portions of the current text goes into which document.

<grumpy hat>

Not only are you not Douglas (who made the original proposal, and thus the question was directed at him), you did not even answer Matt's request. Douglas proposed two documents but did not clearly state what might be removed from the current WG draft; knowing that will help the WG decide whether or not to adopt Douglas' proposal. Your list of ideas for the new document is fine, but is out of scope for the current charter *unless* you are proposing to remove sections from the current WG draft.
