Re: ARIA TPAC Meeting to discuss Javascript Accessibility API

Stefan,

Everyone who contributed is on this email so your'e welcome to raise any
questions and caveats here, alternative please file a bug on GitHub:
https://github.com/a11y-api/a11y-api/issues

Also, please see the explainer
<https://github.com/a11y-api/a11y-api/blob/master/explainer.md> we're in
the process of writing - it wasn't linked from the main spec last week so
you may not have seen it, but it may help to answer many questions about
why we've designed it the way we have.

- Dominic
