Re: CfP W3C/WAP Web Device Independent Authoring workshop

I recently raised the possibility of authoring content for both 
environments with certain WAP members in another TV forum and it was met 
with a strongly negative reaction.  The TV Interest Group meeting you 
reference below is from 2 years ago.  So, I guess I am curious if there is 
a studio represented on this list that thinks there is value in this.  It 
made sense to me, but it there was such a strong negative reaction, I have 
since dropped it.

Can a studio speak up on the desire/need?
