Hi Norbert,

The ODF TC has an Accessibility Subcommittee that
has performed a study of ODF accessibility, and has proposed features to
enhance accessibility in ODF 1.1 and ODF 1.2.  They also produced
an Accessibility Guidelines document which was recently released as a Committee
Specification: 

http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/office-accessibility/v1.0/cs01/ODF_Accessibility_Guidelines-v1.0.odt

I think the proposed IIC TC should include include
tests of interoperability features in its compliance and interoperability
tests.  But we probably would not want to create a test suite based
on the recommendations of the ODF Accessibility Guidelines document unless
we first negotiated that with the members of the Accessibility Subcommittee.
