While I think there are many opportunities to add accessibility to formats from other specifications, I think we should focus our attention on HTML5. I propose we save the accessibility hit jobs for HTML6 after we've already verified that other technologies can replace what HTML already offers. If we could stop this accessibility flame-bait I think the WG could make a lot more progress much more quickly than we currently are. Take care, Rob
