  Hi Richard,

here you go:

Title: Localizing the web from the Mozilla perspective
<abstract>
Axel will present on the achievements and challenges Mozilla is facing 
both as a browser vendor and as a variety of websites. Firefox is 
available in over 70 languages, with over 40 locales participating early 
in the beta program for Firefox 4. We host a variety of websites in a 
variety of languages, based on a variety of infrastructures. We'll 
present what works, and where we're still researching and developing. 
What is a multilingual web differ for static sites, for web 
applications, and live multilingual documents? Technically, what is 
"Localizing HTML"? Also, how can we serve our users the web in their 
language and respect their privacy at the same time? Can we improve 
locale choice?

Otherwise we would prefer to load talks onto the workshop projector in advance of your talk, to speed up the transitions from one talk to another.  Please be prepared to test your projection at the beginning of the break preceding your session, or before.

> Because we have so many speakers, timing will be strict during the workshop, so please ensure that your talk fits within the allocated time.  There will be some time for questions at the end of the session, and more time at the end of the workshop.

> Talks should ideally identify the following with relation to your topic:
>  1. existing best practices and/or standards that are relevant
>  2. gaps that are not covered by best practices and/or standards
>  3. new standards and best practices that are currently in development

> Speakers are asked to focus on describing practical ways in which the topic of their talk enables people to meet the challenges of the multilingual Web, rather than to focus on technical details. Given the diversity of topics at the workshop, speakers should also pitch their talk at a level that will be understood by attendees who are unfamiliar with the topic area.
