Re: FW: [REMINDER] [Fwd: Call for Review: WAI-ARIA Updated Working Drafts]

Hi Tim,

Someone definitely should. I'll try to take a look but I don't have much 
time. Any other volunteers?

Tim: Have you had input into the document? Is there any area we should 
concentrate on?

We'll gather any comments by Monday's call.

Cheers,
Jan
