Re: agenda, 8 August 2013 SVG WG telcon

Cam,

This is a step in the right direction. It will make developer's lives
easier and I think it ultimately will promote SVG adoption. The use of
lower case attribute names was something we addressed early on in ARIA. It
greatly reduced complexity. If we do this we will need to open it up wider
than just HTML early. I am thinking ePub for example.

Nice!
