Putting aside the question of achievability (or not)
of "pixel perfection", is there anyone here that doubts the proposition
that the proposed TC can and should improve the interoperability of rendered
output of ODF applications?

Put differently, is there anyone who would refuse
improvement if it is not perfection?

If not, let's include a goal of improving that area
in the charter.  The fact that perfection is not possible should not
prevent us from doing what is doable.

I'm hoping there is general agreement on that point.
