Probably poor wording on my part; the intent here was to say that the
IETF would provide W3C with information on the communication models
and underlying protocols so that they could develop the APIs with this
data in hand.

As many have noted, coordination of the work  is critical to getting a
working system, and we've tried different ways of putting that in the
charter.  But I think that it's a general feeling that just needs
capturing well.
