Wondering if the new VPAT XML schema is publicly available yet, or if
anyone knows of a public release date?

I see the VPAT page at ITI
http://www.itic.org/resources/voluntary-product-accessibility-template-v
pat/ has been updated and has a link to an informational PDF.

Thanks,

This page - http://www.accessibilitywatch.com/?p=203 - by Ken Nakata
says, "In coming weeks, I hope to be able to release the specification
itself. Stay tuned for more details."

I have to admit that I'm slightly averse to a proprietary XML format
that is currently only supported by a proprietary program that was
developed under contract by the organization that owns a trademark on
"VPAT". Then again, I thoroughly dislike the entire VPAT® approach
itself, though I admit it's a necessary evil.
