The following items are not listed as "new" in the draft charter,

Programmable HTTP Caching and Serving
Uniform Messaging Policy
Selectors API Level 2
Widgets Access Request Policy
Widgets URI Scheme
Widgets View Mode

Apologies for not catching this sooner.
P.S. I know some of these have been published on already despite not
being listed in the previous charter, but I don't think that will
meet
the definition of "new" that most readers of this charter will have
in
mind.
Thanks for mentioning this. You may be right that, even though they
grew out of existing deliverables, others may see them as "new". I
will talk with PLH about what we should do here.
I tried to omit items that I knew to be renames or splits of a draft
in the old charter. I may have missed some, especially in the case of
Widgets where I'm not up to speed on what is in the specs. I believe
at least the first three were written from scratch without
incorporating text from any previous draft.
But now that I think about it, renames should be called to the charter
reviewers' attention as well. Here are the splits and renames I am
aware of:
Web SQL Database --> split from Web Storage
File API --> formerly File Upload; the charter mentions this already
Widgets Packaging and Configuration --> formerly Widgets 1.0:
Packaging and Configuration
The Widget Interface --> formerly Widgets 1.0: APIs and Events
Widgets Digital Signature --> formerly Widgets 1.0: Digital Signature
Widgets Updates --> formerly Widgets 1.0: Updates
Even if not included in the charter itself, it would probably be
useful to bring this information to the AC's attention (as well as any
splits or renames I may have missed).

Maciej
