Great, I did not know it was on the agenda. But maybe my write-up will provide some useful input…

We should also consider the time pressure that the DPUB community has in view of IDPF's plans to move towards an EPUB3.1 version relatively soon.

I have added Mike and Robin to this mail on the cc list, who know the HTML community but I have not copied this to any HTML WG list; I do not think it is my role to get into the direct PF-HTML Working Group discussions.

I do not think it is realistic to have it this week (although I may be available tomorrow, Friday, afternoon my time in France). Next week I am, unfortunately, at the WWW2015 Conference in Italy but, if you guys agree on a timing for a call, I may try to find a quiet place to join in. The week after the DPUB community gathers in NYC for an IDPF conference, preceded (on Tuesday the 26th) by a F2F meeting of the DPUB IG, ie, that week would probably be out of a question for a call. I must admit I secretly hope that we can put an end to this problem soon (maybe by email?), more specifically by the F2F meeting, but if we do not succeed, then be it.
