RE: [office] OpenDocument v1.1 Committee Draft 1

["Mary McRae" <marypmcrae@gmail.com>]

Hi everyone,

  I personally like Peter's suggestion that the accessibility guidelines be
treated as a separate document that Appendix E would reference; particularly
since it's non-normative. One concern with the current approach would be that
unless additional public reviews are intended prior to voting v1.1 as a
Committee Specification and optionally submitting for OASIS Standard vote, no
new material can be added, meaning that the additional work under development
would have to wait for the next release of the main specification. I'm only
jumping in here because I have already received a request from Michael to
announce the public review; if you want to change the document to accomodate
this suggestion now would be time ... Michael can withdraw his request, Appendix
E can be modified, and then we can go forward with the 60-day review.

  Please note that this is just my personal opinion and should not be construed
to carry any more weight because of my position as TC Administrator and/or Staff
Contact.

Mary
