Dave,

I have no problem using strong language to tell ODF implementers about 
this problem, nor to suggest that the simplest way to ensure this isn't 
a problem is to avoid blink rates faster than 3Hz.  Especially to avoid 
 >3Hz by default.  I'm fine with recommending this for both the ODF 
spec. itself, and of course our own guidelines.

I don't want to make it illegal to do so either as a spec. violation, or 
to say that in all cases greater than 3Hz is a problem as our current 
best knowledge is that there are well defined situations in which it 
isn't a problem.
