I think both would be bad, but whether it goes in one or the other would come down to whether there are enough people interested in doing the work.

In the current charter, we already have generic text about extensions and no specific text about the DANE DNSSEC draft though we adopted the draft and there is a milestone for it.  I prefer not to list every draft we are working on in the charter specifically because then we have to change the darn charter every time we want to adopt a draft.

We are going to spend a lot of time discussing the DANE DNSSEC draft.  When it gets done and what is in it is certainly up for discussion.
