The exit criteria were met provided that the functionality had been 
implemented. In some cases, particularly for properties that are also in 
CSS or SVG, a CSS or SVG implementation was cited. This applies to the 
baseline alignment properties, aural properties, color-profile, scrolling 
mechanisms and bidi directional text. I believe Antenna House has 
implemented bidi-override. And there is an XSL implementation of the 
"multi-" properties.
