discussion around date counting conventions

OOXML's YEARFRAC and date basis definitions, but that they were ambiguous

- Eike noted that the OOXML
definitions result in difference numeric results than what Excel calculates.

* Accessibility SC -- Rob
has action item to check with Peter K. and Rich S. on updated accessibility
guidelines with new conformance clause, so we can go forward with a Committee
Specification ballot.

in mimetype file.   IBM Beijing team and David Wheeler will each send
out a proposal. 

* Rob takes action item to

raised.
