Re: [office-accessibility] Re: ODF Accessibility Guidelines

[Peter Korn <Peter.Korn@Sun.COM>]

Hi Rob,

I delivered all of the required formats to Mary McRae when we submitted 
it as a committee draft. I can trivially re-spin this set with the 
appropriate document tag if that changes to something formally "final". 
Mary - please let me know.
