Re: EPUB 3.3, EPUB Reading Systems 3.3 and EPUB Accessibility 1.1 are W3C Candidate Recommendations (Call for Implementations)

Congrats everyone, huge shout-outs to all who made this happen!

Big thanks to our two chairs Wendy and Dave for keeping us on point and driving us to this day. Dan for all your work on the testing system, Matt for your incredible editing of these specifications, Avneesh for leading our accessibility specification as well as your thoughtful insights, Ivan for your guidance here in the W3C, and everyone of our working group, and task force members who contributed in any way.  I for one am proud of what we have accomplished here and can’t wait to promote this and kick off a new era in accessible digital publishing.

Well done everyone!
