Re: IndieUI Call For Proposals

Hi James - during yesterday's IndieUI call, you gave an overview ([1]) 
of the "User Interface Independence for Accessible Rich Internet 
Applications" document [2]. Would you please clarify if this document is 
now an input for the IndieUI Events spec?

-Thanks, Art Barstow
