Talking about a WG seems premature. The first step would be to start a
discussion list and maybe schedule a BOF. If those steps prove fruitful
a WG would be a possibility.
I can set up a mailing list if you like.
Loath as I am to subscribe to yet another mailing list, one dealing with
ways to control the spread of malicious content is one that I think would
be very worthwhile.
