Folks, Since we cannot use the fast-track procedure or PAS procedure, we are required to follow the drafting rules of ISO/IEC. (Note: EPUB 3.0 did not follow them, since it was fast-tracked.) ISO/IEC Directives Part 2: Principles to structure and draft documents intended to become International Standards, Technical Specifications or Publicly Available Specifications. http://www.iso.org/sites/directives/2016/part2/index.xhtml#_idTextAnchor055 I think that there are two significant changes. First, we have to provide Foreword, Introduction, and Scope as required by Directives Part 2. This requires some work, although we can use some text from "1. Overview" in EPUB A11Y 1.0. Second, we have to use SHALL, MAY, and other modal verbs as required by Directives Part 2. Most notably, all MUSTs have to be replaced by SHALLs. Regards, Makoto
