janina: I'm inviting them to have a discussion with us.

we may want to review and refresh any use cases in preparation

janina: WCAG3 is slated for 2026

irfan responded

janina: I'm not sure the current behavior for AT to transform a date based on locale is preferred.

irfanA: I'll make a markdown page for roman numeral examples

I'll make a markdown page for time and datetime examples

as a group, we can evaluate the strengths/weaknesses of each idea

mhakkinen: I'm working on the AITA presentation. I'll review it with Peter. I'm going to try to recruit some new folks to our group.

I'd like to try to recruit a linguist as well.

This is good context for our discussion with AGWG

Dee: we need to allow some way for authors to control pronunciation until we have this figured out. Particularly in assessments.

<janina> German word for girl is neuter gender because it is the diminutive of the older word for "maid."

context clues come from spellings and pronunciations which we can accommodate from phoneme

janina: disambiguating a single word has valid use.
