Request for meeting during TPAC

Dear Colleagues:

The Accessible Platform Architectures (APA) Working Group requests
guidance from the TAG as outlined below. We believe a joint meeting with
appropriate TAG members during TPAC could expedite our concerns most
helpfully and are, therefore, requesting your assistance setting that
conversation up.

Here are the several topics we'd like to cover:

1.)	Architecture in XR

	We need a better understanding of tradeoffs between the existing
	WebGL and emerging WebAssembly (WASM) and WebGPU approaches. Where's the best
	opportunity to support semantics in content? And what level of
	semantics is practicable?

		We have also invited members of Immersive Web to a
		conversation that will cover our concerns in this area.

2.)	We have two Task Forces working toward eventual normative
specifications and we want to be sure we're developing in a supportable
and sustainable direction.

	a.)	Our Pronunciation TF is working toward giving authors a
	reliable markup approach for specifying pronunciation by TTS
	engines. Please note their FPWD documents listed here:

	http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-apa/2019Aug/0044.html

	b.)	Our Personalization TF is developing support for users
	who depend on Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC)
	assistive technologies. Their key document is here:

	https://www.w3.org/TR/personalization-semantics-1.0/

	Your guidance and help is gratefully appreciated.
