Re: Proposal for carrying forward accessibility work in W3C publishing groups

Avneesh,

Thank you for your clarification.  I support the idea of creating an
ISO/IEC
technical specification from EPUB accessibility 1.0.

However, I am concerned about creating a technical specification from
EPUB 3.1 (except accessibility).  This is because such a technical
specification will supersede the current technical specification, which
is based on EPUB 3.  Existing EPUB publications in Japan are based on
EPUB 3, and they are unlikely to be converted to EPUB 3.1.

It would be nice if EPUB accessibility is detached from the rest
of EPUB and submitted as a separate technical specification.

Regards,
Makoto
