[web audio] I18N self-review? [I18N-ACTION-756]

Hello webaudio,

The Internationalization (I18N) Working Group has tasked [1] me with writing to you about your recent CR transition of the Web Audio API document [2]. Congratulations on this important milestone.

As near as I can tell, your WG did not request a review from the I18N WG. If for some reason we missed your request or otherwise were unresponsive, please let me know. Assuming otherwise and based on the transition announcement, I have added your document to our review radar [3].

“Horizontal” review of specifications is one way that the W3C helps ensure universal access. While your specification doesn’t appear to have many areas for potential gaps, it puts a lot of pressure on our working group when we don’t have sufficient time to perform a review—and it can be disruptive if we eventually discover issues that need to be addressed. To that end, could you let us know:


1.       Did you have a chance to perform a self-review or did you otherwise consider requesting an I18N WG review?

2.       Were you aware of horizontal reviews as part of the process? If not, how can we better make you aware or make it easier to work with us?

Thanks (for I18N),

Addison Phillips
Sr. Principal SDE – I18N (Amazon)

Internationalization is not a feature.
It is an architecture.
