How would Charles I handle Ausgleich renegotiations?

Let's say Austria accepts Serbia's accepting almost all of Austrian demands following the the death of Franz Ferdinand. Emperor Franz Joseph II dies on schedule in 1916 and it is Charles I who has to handle the issue of renegotiating the Ausgleich.

How would Charles handle it? IIRC, he was a supporter of Austrian Trialism - the idea of establishing a third South Slavic Kingdom within Austria-Hungary.
 
Charles would have to listen to the advise of his court, and everybody would be insisting he NOT push the Trialism issue during the politically tumultuous time within the Empire following Grandpa Franz's death. The Magyars were testy enough in their depends for greater latitude in their kingdom even without further reforms so they could push assimilation of the minorities: and unlike other groups they had an organized and modern equip army that could be a real threat to internal stability if push came to shove. Likely, we'd see a status quo situation emerge,with Vienna tactly agreeing to look the other way in Budapest's efforts towards lingustic uniformity in exchange for greater economic rationalization between the regions (creating a common rail gauge, for instance)

Except Charles pushed the idea OTL during WWI, which I imagine was a far more strenuous time than the Ausgleich renegotiations would be.

The Croatian-Hungarian understanding meant that Croatia-Slavonia was already administratively autonomous from Hungary. This really doesn't change that much politically for the Hungarians.

... it was also a time when the tension tinderbox that was trying to be kept still was already burning, marshal law already in place and justified, ect. Basically, the risks weren't there because they'd already come to pass from other sources. Remove the war, and you risk starting one as a result of the move... one AH is far less likely to escape alive from.
