Congratulations everyone!
I have already voted for all three to be W3C Recommendations as is.
Huge shout out to all the editors, chairs, TF Facilitators, testers, reviewers, and publishing members who had a hand in making this a reality.
I am very proud of the work we have done to make this latest version of EPUB easier to understand, more robust, and more accessible than ever before. Huge shout out to everyone who helped make this a reality especially our main co-chairs Wendy and Dave. There are so many to thank but a few I closely worked with Avneesh for big picture thinking and our accessibility ambassador, Dan for the testing framework, Matt on all things editing and for reorganizing the specs into these three simplified versions. A big thank you to our fearless W3C leader Ivan, who kept us on
track and was instrumental in getting us here not to mention contributed to just about every GitHub commit! It's been a pleasure working with you all and the entire Publishing WG.
And a big thank you to Avneesh, George, Gregorio, and Matt for all your hard work on the Accessibility Specification!
Well done all,
Thanks
