I agree with everything Maciej said, but would like to add: Please do *NOT* submit a change proposal that could include multiple options. If there are competing proposals, then please submit them as separate proposals. Note: once one is submitted, we will issue a call for alternatives, so these proposals do not have to be submitted concurrently. >> I guess what I am saying is that from an accessibility viewpoint >> we absolutely need a solution to this problem in the spec, but the >> given timeline is just not appropriate to propose an adequate >> solution and the discussions have to continue across all the >> stakeholders. > > That is understandable. > > Revards, Maciej - Sam Ruby
