> 2. Action items (from before)
> a. Janina to modify the accessibility guidelines to state how 
> common field attributes (section 6.7 of the ODF 1.2 spec.) 
> should be supplied to the AT. The field attributes would 
> indicate whether something were a boolean, gregorian date, etc.
> 
> b. Peter Korn to: provide provide guidelines as to how to 
> provide tracking information to ATs; and modify guidelines to 
> ensure applications respond to system font and color settings.
> 
> c. Rich Schwerdtfeger to: add wording to the next revision of 
> the accessibility guidelines to allow control of the 
> animation rate of images in a presentation
> 
> d. Hiro to provide wording in the to address dynamic, 
> asynchronous updates There are several topics in the specs 
> related to “asynchronous automatic update� of contents or 
> values. Automatic updates should be carefully presented to 
> assistive technologies through accessibility APIs. Documents 
> are becoming more dynamic- async updates - some
> examples: linked tables, database ranges, scritping, text 
> sections, DDE connections.
> 
> f. Rich Schwerdtfeger to answer questions: How does ODF do 
> language tagging of a range of text? Font attributes? And how 
> best to tag a string as "Grade 2 English Braille", vs. "music 
> Braille in German".
> [From Tatsuya: look at ODF v1.1 spec. 15.4.23 Language; Use 
> the fo:language, fo:language-asian and fo:language-complex 
> properties to specify the language of the text. See §7.9.2 of 
> [XSL] for details. Some applications ignore these properties 
> if they are not specified together with the corresponding 
> fo:country property.]
> 
> g. Rich Schwerdtfeger: Find deadlines for ODF 1.2; also to 
> verify whether TC would like to see our 1.2 guidelines doc 
> delivered at same time (in same "bundle") as 1.2 spec.
