At the veyr least, the draft needs significant rewording so taht it 
clealry explains what you are saying here.  As currently worded, it does 
not lead the reader to that understanding.  And as such, calls into 
doubt what the supporters of adoption believe they are adopting.

A WG looking like "the natural place" for something does not mean that 
said working group actually has the given work in its charter. For 
example, there were quite a number of drafts which were presented in the 
SFC WG as the natural place for initial discussion, but which did not 
fit within the SFC charter and therefore were not adopted by SFC as work 
items.
