All I want from possible specifications is that they come with
- an automated test suite, that verifies at least every statement of the specification, i.e. MUST, SHOULD, …, once
- a reference implementation that passes said test suite
I don’t know if such goals are what a W3C charter is about. However, I feel that aiming to get AP/AS2 up to that standard is a way forward to fix them without restricting oneself to “minor”.
