I'm with Dave on this one. I think it's also important in our proposals to be sure that terminology proposed reflects standard syntax-like descriptions. Remember, the majority of the people we are trying to "reach" are *NOT* people with disabilities but rather the content providers/publishers. So we need to produce proposals that reflect their standard terminology. This is how we developed the ICADD standard. I have reviewed most of the current proposals; For the most part things look okay, though I would appreciate a comment from Dave or Dan as to whether these proposals are in proper format. Code examples look good, but definitive terminology looks a little weak. Having said that, I also know I should be more involved. I'm getting there folks; just a little more time and the YRIF should be in great shape so I contribute to the technical specs.
