I agree that we need to get to work on the technology. I am fully on board with a results oriented approach. Is there a "but" in my mind? Well, sort of. There's the concern that people from both the HTML and PF sides feel comfortable with the process. The history of the past few years, before I was involved myself, appears to have been rather unproductively tendencious much of the time. So, I am concerned that we do our best to create a collegial environment. I think that is also important for the results we seek. >> Janina > > - Sam Ruby -- Janina Sajka, Phone: +1.202.595.7777; sip:janina@CapitalAccessibility.Com Partner, Capital Accessibility LLC http://CapitalAccessibility.Com Marketing the Owasys 22C talking screenless cell phone in the U.S. and Canada Learn more at http://ScreenlessPhone.Com Chair, Open Accessibility janina@a11y.org Linux Foundation http://a11y.org Chair, Protocols & Formats Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/wai/pf World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
