It would make the charter broader if the particular work areas were not
itemized here.  This way, a future work item, such as the (or "a") loss
bits extension (which obviosly addresses deployability concerns), cannot
be shut down with: "it is not in the second area items list and thus the
WG is not chartered to work on it."
