[Second Screen] Off Topic (was RE: Issue priorities)

Hi All,

Allow me to very briefly introduce myself. My name is John Foliot, and I am
a web accessibility specialist. I spend a fair bit of my volunteer time at
the W3C, and related to "media / video", I was one of the authors of the
Media Accessibility User Requirements -
http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/media-a11y-reqs/. I follow this list mostly out of
interest, and to "keep an eye on" developments as they evolve.

I am writing this group today to make a small but important request. Could I
ask that when posting to either of these lists, that the subject line
clearly indicate the list target? (For example, you will note I added
[Second Screen], which is a frequently used convention). As personally I
manage multiple W3C mailing lists in my inbox, this would make it extremely
simple to do: conversely an email with the subject line "Issue Priorities"
is, uhm, relatively vague when taken out of context.

At any rate, this is just a suggestion, and requires that the group make an
effort to do this. If you all deem it too much, that's fine, but I wrote to
ask you to consider it, and I will thank you for taking the time to do just
that :-)

Cheers!

JF
