Silvia, I urge you to take that discussion to the HTML WG mailing list [1] (as well as the W3C WAI-xtech list [2]) at the same time as you approach the WHAT WG, as a large number of accessibility folk do not monitor WHAT WG and it would be a shame to miss out on their feedback. I have taken the liberty of forwarding this note to those lists today, but urge you to include those communities in your ongoing quest as well. Cheers!
