Rules Interchange Format WG

Hi,

http://www.internetnews.com/dev-news/article.php/3562221

This is something that the WAI *needs* to be involved with.  Format interchange provides one technical route to accessibility, a route that is more likely to succeed than current measures that require a document author to take steps to implement accessibility.  For example, rules can be drawn up to convert a large amount of the semantic encoding in SVG into text, with the only current problems being fonts, scales and color, all of which could be remedied by inclusion of some meta data in the SVG format.

This is probably the best shot at an accessible web, at least in my opinion.
