Re: Fwd: WCAG 3 Explainer to FPWD?

I know, the wording is tricky, and I'm sorry I didn't catch it earlier. 
FPWD is a formal stage and I should have paid more attention leading up 
to that. I don't have a sense of what the WG was understanding in the 
meeting, but I see that in the minutes it was called a "first draft" 
many times, so I'm hoping that was the understanding. If the 
interpretation sounds reasonable to those on this list (no objections) 
I'll go with it and use it for the transition request. Worst case is I 
get pushback from PLH which adds a week to the publication schedule.

Since I am taking next week off, I plan to publish the documents on 
November 30 if possible, slip date December 2. Sorry I took longer than 
expected to make this happen.
