xml accessibility
[on behalf of Daniel Dardailler, danield@w...]

Hello

The W3C WAI Protocols and Formats Working Group (PFWG) invites review
and comments on the XML Accessibility Guidelines first public working
draft:

Published at:
        http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlgl

Dated version at:
        http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/WD-xmlgl-20010829

See the review process details in the document status (reproduced
below).

Thanks.

Abstract
========

This document explains how to design accessible applications using
XML, the Extensible Markup Language. Compared to the HTML or MathML
languages, XML is one level up: it is a meta syntax used to describe
these languages, as well as new ones. As a meta syntax, XML provides
no intrinsic guarantee of device independence or textual alternate
support. It is essential, therefore, that XML formats and tools
designers are provided with guidelines that explain how to include
basic accessibility features - such as those present in HTML, SMIL,
and SVG - in all their new developments.
