In the APP, RAI, TSV area reconfiguration, a suggestion to consider:

Carve out a "WEB" area which covers work that should coordinate with browsers 
and W3C.   Other apps (real-time or not) and transport questions could be one 
super-group which wouldn't be as big as all three.  

In Web: HTTP, URI/URL, WebRTC
In non-Web: email, xmpp
Could go either, but better in WEB:  MIME, encodings

The idea is to improve alignment and coordination, and get more participation.

What started this process was that there was not enough work in APP to justify 
a whole area. What you are suggesting here is a mini-area with around 5 working 
groups. Doesn’t this make it worse?
