Re: Review of Section 7.1 by ARIA working group in PF

Paul:

I'll take your direct question as directed to the respective actionees,
noting (again) that their due date is this coming Thursday. A tickler is
certainly in order.

There were other items agreed, however, not captured in action items. I
believe Ted agreed several changes that would be good to have in place
before Thursday's TF call, e.g. "printer" rather than "screen reader," Ted?
