Re: EPUB 3 Justification

While I agree, and applaud the clarity this framing brings, you present it as an informed insider.  What I wrote is nearly a direct quote from a couple of conversations in the past month, expressing the confusion non-insiders currently have.

Objet : Re: EPUB 3 Justification

Hello Rick,

IMO this can be re-phrased differently:

  *   from EPUB2 to EPUB3.2 (that's our target right now)
  *   from resources on the Web to Web Publications (2020)
  *   from EPUB3.2 to EPUB4 (>2020)
I don't think such a timeline is sending any mixed message.

Best,
Hadrien
