Re: Alternate CP to resolve ISSUE-74 (also resolves ISSUE-105)

Hi Charles,

Do you want us to discuss this on Monday or do you need more time for
details?

Would you prefer, for now, for us to start comments now on the list?

... I need to let people know if we will have a canvas accessibility
meeting on Monday and if we do I would like you to be on the call. Please
let me know

Cheers,

Rich

I have always had that approach. This proposal is technically compatible
with the nonav proposal (or even with what Ian has currently), but for
reasons I hope are outlined in the proposal rationale already I think it
is better to have one approach, and I believe this is the simplest for
authors.

Yes. That's an important part of why I think this approach makes sense.
