I was about to announce the PR this afternoon ... Michael,
let me know if I should hold up or if you'd instead like this handled as a
comment submitted during the public review to be incorporated prior to CS
vote.

[office-accessibility] Requested editorial change to Appendix E in the ODF 1.1
specification
Michael,
The ODF Accessibility Subcommittee would like to make an
editorial change to the non-normative Appendix E.3 of the ODF 1.1
specification.
Change:
Users importing non-OpenDocument slides that
contain tables need access to the table structure via their assistive
technology. Therefore tables imported into OpenDocument from another file
format must have their structure preserved, and should be imported as embedded
spreadsheets.
to:
Users importing non-OpenDocument slides that
contain tables need access to the table structure via their assistive
technology. Therefore tables imported into an OpenDocument application from
another file format must have their structure preserved, and when saved as ODF
should be saved as embedded spreadsheets.
The way
this was previously worded was ambiguous in that Open Document applications
may import powerpoint slides natively and saying that you would need to
convert the document to an embedded spreadsheet for a powerpoint slide would
be incorrect.and we would like to see this changed.
We would like to have this appear in the ODF 1.1 specification going
out for public review next week however we do not want this to hold up the 60
day review. If this cannot be done in time for the review then we will add
this as part of the review comments.
