I *completely* agree.

I have been associated with the DECADE work, which was just chartered
this week. The same questions could have been asked for that work, but
weren't.

I quite agree about not discussing the above questions, or even
considering them in any formal manner on this list or IESG discussions.
I sympathize with the curiosity that stems from those questions, but
they are quite out of scope of the IETF in chartering WGs.  But if
others feel differently, I would like to see how this same litmus test
has been conducted in the past for *all* other BoFs, working groups, and
even drafts.  Point being -- that's a very nasty rathole to fall into.
