[Irl-dean] AAA Claim?

[brendan spillane]

Hi Barry,

It had not occurred to me that 11.1 referred to document conversion,
as I have always assumed this was covered by 11.3. While I would agree
that it is a good thing to use W3C technologies 'when they are
available and appropriate', currently (to my knowledge) there is no
W3C technology which has the same properties as pdf/doc regarding
printability / portability, and offline readability (as previously
discussed in the list)

Best,

Brendan
