Bruised? I would not worry about it. She has a lot of good comments and a lot that well aren't realistic for this go around. We are not trying to reproduce ATAG. ATAG has taken years to get where it is and 1.0 was a disaster.

Interesting that she picked on section 4's conversion to HTML. She wanted MS Office but it is proprietary - hence why we are doing an open document format. Perhaps I will put a comment in on that. :-)

Neither Open Office nor Workplace have a quality .doc converter.

My comments inlined with the document.
I feel a bit bruised Rich!

I'll tackle the issues in section 3.

I like the idea of grouping everything on each aspect, tables, images, lists etc.

The key point is the suggestion that each aspect is presented as brief rationale, then action to be taken.
I could ride with that.


I'll leave it to the chairs as to when this tackled.
