Re: George's thoughts: RE: IMPORTANT: Meeting announcement and draft agenda for JWG7 of JTC1/SC34, TC46/SC4 and IEC/TC100 TA10, 2018-05, Lisbon, Portugal

I think that George¹s plan is excellent, but shouldn¹t there is an item for
extending EPUBCheck to cover 3.2?  I think we all agree on this needs, but
seems like it should be part of the plan. Of course, these three items (I.e.
3, 4 and 4b) are a LOT of work, but what of that?  :-)

+ 100 to this plan.
Epub 3.2 will have the media cover and the Asian industry will be able to
rely on an compatible ISO standard in a correct timeframe.
