There is no such absolute claim that I can see in the draft

The charter still offers justification for pursuing constraints on  
the email-address.

Right. Because that's an on-going, persistent requirement of the
people who will use this stuff - rather than those who talk about
it. Abdicating this responsibility to some distant, undefined process
removes the incentive to adopt for many high-value domains.
