My point is: if the IESG thought roadmap documents were important, 
such docs would be much more commonplace in the WG charters.

It's of course possible to work on this by collecting sufficient 
number of like-minded individuals, but I doubt such an attempt would 
be all that successful.

The IESG needs to see this as a very important thing, otherwise it 
won't really happen.
