Commit to contributing to and supporting the development of related Web standards

In his review @triblondon made the following comment:

Assuming that AMP's vision is as an expression of the future capabilities of the web platform, then it is a de-facto polyfill, and the governance policy should commit AMP to contributing to and supporting the development of the standards that it promotes, where there remains a gap between what is supported by AMP and what can be done without it.

This feels like something that needs to be expressed in the Vision/Mission statement, not in the governance policy itself.

[triblondon]

It would be nice to see some resolution to this, perhaps in the form of a vision statement that AMP's goal is to cease to exist, and that the project will work towards that by realising AMP's benefits into the fabric of the web platform.

While I don't think that there is broad agreement that AMP's goal should be to cease to exist (though I understand what's behind that statement), I do think that a manifesto that captures what AMP about in more depth than the current vision/mission statement (and in relation to the Web) would be a good thing. It's one of the items that I want to put on the AC's agenda.
