Personally, I'd prefer either option 1 or option 2b.  2a creates too 
much redundant text.

The benefit of 2b is being able to evolve the documents separately, 
e.g., if there is more interest in the WG participants in one 
document; the documents are also shorter and easier to read.

The benefit of 1 is that all you need is in one draft.  The drawback 
is that the doc is loooong, and it might discourage people from 
looking at it.

I may be slightly biased toward 2b, but 1 is OK with me as well, as 
the others seem to be favoring that approach.
