Greetings,

During the November 29 Web & Software subcommittee meeting, Andrew
Kirkpatrick and I agreed to develop a proposal for a minimum set of
accessibility information that user interface elements must provide to
AT (and Luke Kowalski agreed to review it).

I have put our reviewed draft up on the wiki, at:
http://teitac.org/wiki/Web_and_Software:Accessibility_API_Proposal


Andi & Curtis - could you schedule some time in one of our next meetings
to discuss this proposal?


Thanks!
