Q:
What is our time frame for dealing with platform-platform topics?

I'm working on authoring but don't know what time frame we are looking
at for the platform-platform items.

Also, any thoughts on possible AT specific requirements such as:

When software provides increased access to and use of other software
(yeah platform - platform), it shall use provided assistive technology
services or other interoperability mechanisms when available, but may
use alternative methods of information access and control in addition to
such accessibility services etc.

I think we need to try and craft provisions that address the entire AT,
application, and platform responsibilities to get us moved to the shared
responsibility environment.
