Hi all, Again, just to get this at the top of your inbox. I've also updated my suggested draft response below: <Josh draft> The Accessible Platform Architectures (APA) working group has reviewed the first public working draft of the 'Web of Things (WoT) Profile' https://www.w3.org/TR/wot-profile/. We have the following questions/comments: [1] * Does the 'Profiling Mechanism' have any accessibility related issues? For example, does it relate to any middle-ware, that needs to support accessibility related use cases? Or impact same? [2] * With the degree of variability in current Thing Descriptions and no interoperability guarantee; how does the WoT group intent to support accessibility related user needs/requirements, at this level? * Should there be a reliable data structure for accessibility be defined in WoT Profiles to insure interoperability and support? We acknowledge some use cases are yet to be determined, but the discussion now of an architecture that may be required for accessibility, seems needed/sensible at this point. It may be determined that the generic profile requirements are sufficient to describe accessibility related supports, but it also may not.
