Martin,
Priority is up to the chairs based on availability of documents, their
progress and the milestones. The group will probably decide on which
documents will be the initial WG documents and progress them accordingly. 

Look at the milestone for the priority order

Apr 2009    Working Group Last Call for problem statement  
Jun 2009    Submit problem statement to IESG as Informational  
Aug 2009    Working Group Last Call for requirements document  
Oct 2009    Submit requirements document to IESG as Informational  
Jan 2010    Working Group Last Call for request/response protocol  
Jan 2010    Working Group Last Call for usage document for communicating
network preferences  
Mar 2010    Submit request/response protocol to IESG as Proposed Standard  
Mar 2010    Submit usage document to IESG as Proposed Standard  
May 2010    Working Group Last Call of discovery mechanism  
Jul 2010    Submit discovery mechanism to IESG as Proposed Standard  
Aug 2010    Dissolve or re-charter  


The service discovery is last on the list but that does not mean that we do
not need to work on it.

Well, I haven't doubt that it is on our charter, but I have questioned the
timing.
