Hi all,

Thanks a lot to Michael for doing this great introduction - and for
cc-ing me on the email.

May I add to Michael's expose that my work on video accessibility for
Firefox 3 will most certainly include improvements and further
implementations for ROE. It will also make sure we select
subtitle/caption formats for Ogg and audio annotations for the blind,
even if they may be specified to be text and rendered viat TTS.

I am also keen to set up a collection of files that can be used as
examples. If we do that through Michael, that would be awesome!

Best Regards,
Silvia.
