How do we get an individual's set of preferences into the device? We said there would be no mechanism for that in v1 If I'm understanding you correctly, this validates my previous point. There is no current way to "get an individual's set of [external, wishlist] preferences into the device" and if there were, it would be different on each system, and therefore outside the scope of the specification. This is why in version 1.0 we should use preferences that already exist on operating systems, browsers, and assistive technology, and specify the way that web applications can access them. > 2. How do we achieve the generality of preferences (the interoperability) that individuals need and web authors need to know about? In my opinion, we start with the most common implementable ones for 1.0 and expand outward as needed. James
