Re: [AudioTF] Agenda 2018-12-14

I didn't think anybody was pondering/proposing changes to OCF 3.2 that
would impact EPUB.  "OCF Lite" should be a different animal for audiobook
packaging, drafted, likely, as a set of removals from OCF 3.2 -- "point to
OCF 3.2, but disregard X, Y, and Z".

Best,
   Garth
