Re: [office-accessibility] Requested editorial change to Appendix E in theODF 1.1 specification

Peter, Mary,

I was under the impression that we had until Monday, but if it means missing the timeline then we will put this in the 60 day comments and address it then. I do not want to hold up the 60 day public review for this. 

Best Regards,

Rich

Re: [office-accessibility] Requested editorial change to Appendix E in the ODF 1.1 specification

Hi Mary,

The change we would like to make is a small clarification change in the 

non-normative portion of the document - Appendix E.

Separately from Michael (who I believe has left work for the day in 

Germany) I understand that if the document doesn't go out today, we miss 

our timeline.

I believe this change can be made within the 60 day public review (as an 

editorial change, especially as it is non-normative).

So, I suggest you do NOT delay, but go ahead with PR this afternoon.

Rich - is this acceptable to you?

Peter
