The chair of the TC is aware of our meeting time, and is working with a 
TC member and fellow Sun employee Florian Reuter, who has the task of 
proposal a way to encode tables in presentations.

I dashed out the door to the meeting with Michael and unfortunately left 
the list of questions on my desk; but we discussed them from my memory.  
The questions all revolved around the user interface presentation of 
tables in presentations, which Michael pointed out is all tied into the 
implementation.  Michael said that from an ODF point of view tables in 
Writer are very much the same as tables in the spreadsheet, though the 
user interface is completely different.  Questions like how to handle 
scrolling in tables that are larger than the rectangle they are embedded 
in, editing modes, etc. are all part of the user interface which is not 
the purview of the file format (or Michael's expertise).  These are all 
important questions for accessibility, but they flow from the user 
interface implementation.
