As far as I’m aware, that’s the intention.

+1 but with a caveat

 

We're nearly done implementing the display guide in Swift (iOS, iPadOS and macOS) and Kotlin (Android and ChromeOS) but we've encountered a number of issues that could be a showstopper (the localization one comes to mind). While I don't think that we should delay the publication, we should consider a hotfix release (2.0.1?) as early as possible (September?) to solve some of these more pressing issues.
I don't think that we should wait until a 3.0 version, which could take another year to work on.

Dear all,

 

Accessibility metadata display guide for digital publications 2.0 is ready for publishing.

In our last accessibility task force call the task force decided to do the essential improvements based on the feedback received for the 3rd draft and defer the remaining issues to the next version of the guide. This is because the implementers need the stability for implementing the guide before the June deadline of EAA.

We have incorporated the essential improvements, and the guide is ready for the release.

 

Therefore, we are seeking your email approval for publishing the guide. Please reply with +1 for approval, 0 if you have no opinion and -1 for rejecting the request for approval.

 

Please provide your responses before 15 UTC, on Thursday, April 17, 2025.
