I would like the C++ committee's attention to be drawn to the dangers, for
committee, to try to make decisions outside of its domain of expertise. I
see more potential for harm than for good in having the C++ committee join
the ranks of non graphics specialists thinking they know how to do
graphics...

If that helps, we can give a pile of evidence for how having generalist Web
circles trying to standardize graphics APIs has repeatedly given
unnecessarily poor APIs...
