Re: [Minutes] EPUB Virtual Locator TF, 2021-06-02

These are all great points! Some of it depends on whether implementation is in authoring (by hand or in InDesign) or ingestion (this is what Wendy has suggested, but there is currently no spec for what publishing platforms should do at ingestion time) or in the RS. Still lots to figure out.

Understood, but in case you are not aware, we alternate time slots on this task force to accommodate participants in Australia already. This week's meeting was Wednesday 8pm ET (New York), which is good for Australia, but next week's will be Wednesday 11am ET (New York), which is ... 5pm in Paris? I will send you and Laurent an invite for next week's meeting. No pressure, but we'd love to have you!

> Among other things, we've been worried to see so many mentions about CFI. I personally think that this ship has sailed and that we should instead align with the Web and the work done for example on text fragments (other Web-based solutions have followed that approach, for example Hypothesis).

Good news: we have mostly moved away from CFI. Rather, we have sorted our use cases, and there are a bunch that work well with CFI, but we have called those all out of scope for the current effort. Basically all we are dealing with now are "pages." We still think there's a lot of value in CFI, but not for this!

Hope that helps,
