Well, then, we are all agreed that MODE READER is broken.

Therefore, it is pointless to argue that the charter prohibits action. 
The charter does not prohibit fixing things that are broken.

Otherwise, I can argue that requiring MODE READER before AUTHINFO breaks a 
widely deployed client (Pine), and therefore the WG is prohibited from 
doing that by the charter.
