Hello! I've mostly been lurking here since i left W3C (after 17 years) in 2018, where i had led a lot of the XML work. These days i mostly work for Paligo AB in Sweden, and do XSLT training and XSLT/XML/XQuery consulting via Delightful Computing. Why lurk? The state of epub and ebooks is very disappointing to me, and although a lot of that is down to readers and devices, a lot also is from missed opportunities, ranging from cross-book linking and domain- specific searching through to typography & accessibility. A W3C Working Group isn't usually a good place for leaps in forward design, since you can't make a standard around experiments, but where else to watch & sometimes gently prod people behind the scenes? -- Liam Quin, https://www.delightfulcomputing.com/ Available for XML/Document/Information Architecture/XSLT/ XSL/XQuery/Web/Text Processing/A11Y training, work & consulting.
