 I suppose we can say something like deployable as widely as 
possible,
 and we can all read between the lines.

That is tempting to add to the charter, yes, but I would like to 
very strongly encourage folks not to think in terms of 
game-playing or subtleties for an IETF working group charter.  

It needs to say what problem we are solving.  It needs to say 
something about how we plan to go about solving.  It might need 
to say something about what we are NOT doing.  But social and 
legal statements of intent or desire or proscription simply are 
not something IETF charter do.
