What requirements are there to be able to also
use a 6962bis log instance or piece of s/w for
another transparency-for-X thing?

If there are none or its ok as a best-effort
thing then working in parallel seems ok, but if
there's a strong desire to be able to use the
same log instance or s/w for more than one
thing, aren't there dangers there?

I've no particular opinion as to what's right
here btw, but its a fairly typical way in which
a WG might trip up and can lead to the WG
convincing themselves to step back to start
from use-cases, blah, requirements, blah,
architecture, blah etc. after a big and non-fun
argument.

Better to figure it out and have some sort of
consensus on that kind of thing up front if
possible.
