Subject: Re: [office-accessibility] Draft suggested outline for theAccessibility Appendix of the ODF 1.1 specification


Some comments:

- ALT text (in all of the various places they can go)
      Include suggested UI for setting them

What means "suggested" here?

- Soft page break generation

That is not a recommendation.
The recommendation is:
"If the application paginates the document, soft page breaks should be
indicated in the document file."
