Although I have not worked in that area for decades, I very much agree with Mr. Berkovitz and would be interested in chatting with him. I am only at TPAC Wednesday afternoon-Friday. The links didn't come through in your forwarded e-mail, but if [2] is in the afternoon I'll try to make it.

>> Hello Digital Publishing Chairs/Staff,
>> 
>> First, I’d like to introduce myself; I’m the AC Rep for new W3C member Hal Leonard, a global publisher of music and music-related content.  I am also the co-chair of the Web Audio WG.  (Technically my employer is Noteflight, a web-based notation app company that is a subsidiary of Hal Leonard.)
>> 
>> I will be attending TPAC Monday through Wednesday, and I’m very interested in having a conversation about music notation markup with interested parties from your IG if possible. I see music notation markup as a parallel use case to mathematical markup in many ways, and I noted that you have a task force for STEM looking at declarative formats in science/tech/engineering/math. (If you’ve encountered the acronym “STEAM” - the "A" standing for Arts - this maps perfectly onto my thinking. I’m broadly interested in infusing EPUB standards with an awareness of artistic content.) Perhaps some members of that task force might be particularly interested.
>> 
>> I’d appreciate any thoughts you have on how we might connect while I’m at TPAC. We have a short segment Tuesday afternoon in our Audio group meeting [1] devoted to music notation; in addition, I’ve proposed a breakout session for Wednesday [2] that will focus on music notation markup with somewhat more time to spend. But some informal conversation would be nice too!
