Re: Fwd: Call for Review: ATAG 2.0 Updated Working Drafts

Hi Shawn!
 
Verbs are nice, aren't they?
 
That should have read, "but I am concerned that discussing this
document would *consume* precious meeting time" (and so on).
 
And I will think about whether a specific point or group of points
seems significant enough that I would like to propose that the comment
come through our working group.
 
Thanks!
Cliff

is particularly relevant to you if you use blogs, wikis, social
networking websites, content management systems (CMS), HTML editors, or
other such tools[1]. ATAG defines how these tools should help you make
your blog posts, websites, etc. accessible --Â- and how the tools
themselves should be accessible so that people with disabilities can use
them.

collect feedback on these changes. The Working Group expects to publish
another Last Call Working Draft in a few months. Last Call and other
