Dave,

Just tell us what we need and we will work to get it added. We can add accessibility role meta data. Currently the PF working group is doing this for DHTML. We can add it here. For example, things like Frountmatter and rearmatter could be added. This is our chance to get it in. We could add things like the role attribute to the markup:

Does Daisy have a namespace we can reference?

x2:role="daisy:frountmatter"

Cheers,

Rich

dp. Some is needed. Until I see what is available in standard writer
metadata I don't know
the match. We can probably dummy out required but unavailable metadata.




For example, is there sectional data that we could apply to a writer
document to facilitate transformation? We want to preserve structural
navigation where possible.

Writer documents are flat, structure wise. The headings provide navigational
structure. That can be copied over to the six layers allowed by daisy.

dp. I've not looked at Presentation XML at all. I'll try writer first.
An approach would be
for n pages, one page per slide?

dp. Might? Do you mean use Daniel Veillards xslt engine? How do we
find out what is available internally? Is it Xalan C?

Where do we find out about this? On the dev list?
