Re: Call for Consensus - Publication of Draft Note for Understanding EPUB Accessibility 1.2

This document is indeed helpful. However, I object to publication under the
current title.

The title "Understanding EPUB Accessibility 1.2" suggests that this
document provides detailed guidance for understanding EPUB Accessibility
1.2 itself, in much the same way that the Understanding WCAG documents
provide detailed guidance for understanding WCAG requirements.

However, this document does not explain EPUB Accessibility 1.2 as a whole.
It does not provide detailed guidance regarding EPUB Accessibility
requirements, metadata requirements, discoverability requirements, or other
EPUB-specific accessibility provisions.

Instead, the document focuses on a much narrower topic: how WCAG
conformance requirements should be interpreted and applied in the context
of EPUB publications. Most sections explain whether particular WCAG
requirements apply to EPUB publications, do not apply, or require special
interpretation.

I therefore believe that the current title is misleading. A title such as:

"Understanding WCAG Conformance in EPUB Accessibility 1.2"

would more accurately reflect the actual scope and purpose of this document.

I would be happy to support publication if the title is revised accordingly.

Makoto
