That's a value proposition that everyone wants.

Janina and I spoke:

Main talking points:

- Raising the accessibility bar via open standard contribution
- Work to ensure document format can support an accessible experience via the application
- Issue is not an open source discsussion. Open source does not hurt/help the accessibility of the standard
- An open standard allows us to do things like DAISY conversion without concerns about access to a proprietary markup

Janina would like to raise the business reason for going to an open document format. ... control over their own data.

Comments?

The exhibits are open 4-7pm Wednesday, and I'm on booth set-up duty (so Wednesday after the Java/GNOME session may not work for me). Hmmm... This suggests Friday as a better time.
