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

Looks like every time good things happen when I was on vacation.

Big congrats everyone. To me the epub3.3 is a revolution also because we 
now have reading system spec defined as well which will be great help 
and guidance for reading system vendor like me. Great job everyone and 
glad to see the output from all the discussions.


Cheers,

Zheng
