I most respectfully disagree, Fred.  I think Donald's text is pretty good.

I read this as being carefully crafted to allow the WG to work on issues
other than the ones that are explicitly listed earlier in the text.  In
particular, if the WG thinks that using PI addresses and absence of
renumbering are important issues, then the above sentence allows us to
identify that as a gap and work on it.

Perhaps.  (I frankly don't know, I haven't thought about it.)

But whether this is the case or not, we must make sure that the charter is
not written so as to force a given solution.  And I understand that's what
Donald is trying to do.
