[html4all] Goals thoughts and advise

I added another bullet point to our draft goals [1]. It says:

"Flag issues that bear looking into by the WAI's Protocols and Formats
Working Group (PFWG). Then present a well reasoned, documented, and
researched case for each of those issues, to PFWG (and the HTML5 WG)
by following the process that Judy Brewer outlined in her May 24, 2007
email RE: WAI mandate to work with other WGs."[2]

The second sentence in that bullet point, ("Then present a well
reasoned, documented, and researched case for each of those issues, to
PFWG (and the HTML5 WG) by following the process that Judy Brewer
outlined in her May 24, 2007 email RE: WAI mandate to work with other
WGs.") is more of an objective[3] than a goal[4].

Should we pull this second sentence? Should we leave it and add
objectives for  Greg's first four points? Thoughts? Advise?

Thanks,
Laura
