Re: EPUB Annotations TF: meeting on Thursday, 18 December

Dear all, 

We'll have an EPUB Annotation TF tomorrow, 18/12, after the PMWG meeting. 

For those who haven't read the specification lately, Ivan has made excellent editorial changes. 
See https://w3c.github.io/epub-specs/epub34/annotations/

PS: Do you also see this spec in dark mode by default? I don't know what is causing that...

I have also received feedback from the Readwise team about the current specification. 

"I've reviewed the draft, and overall it looks good to me. It seems quite complete and I see no reason we couldn't export highlights in this format when users export their epubs, or vice versa, import annotations in this format when an epub is imported. In fact, the latter would be quite useful to us if users are migrating over from other reading apps."

The team still signals a difference between their model and the current draft: Readwise supports multiple "tags", where we support a unique "keyword". At EDRLab, we implemented a unique tag for simplicity, but I'll open an issue on this today. 

Best regards
Laurent Le Meur
