Subject: Re: [office-accessibility] Agenda: September 6 ODF Accessibility SCMeeting


Rich,

Yah, I like your relations idea for this.  Probably the fastest way to 
do it. 

Could you be more specific about the "1.2 accessibility guidelines 
format" question?  Are you speaking of the update to our document for 
1.2?  The discussion we'd had was that this could be delivered as part 
of the 1.2 ODF spec. documents, as an annex.  This was discussed at the 
main ODF TC meeting.
