i'm not comfortable with the reasoning that a proposal
is not right because the superintendents of the wg
might interpret it the wrong way and come up with
some funny ideas. i think it would be more customary 
for the wg to decide what it would like to do
(within the context of its charter) while assuming
that the wg superintendents are reasonable.

it seems that the potential problem you mention is 
perhaps more a communication issue than a technical 
one.
