    Subject: Re: [office-accessibility] Requested editorial change to Appendix E inthe 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?
