14:11:08 <wendyreid> Some discussion of extended description and what it means for FXL.
14:14:42 <wendyreid> Fallbacks and expectations of the reader/reading system. Different from the web.
14:17:20 <wendyreid> Tension of webbiness and epub, we want books to be more webby, but we also want the stability of the print book.
14:21:07 <wendyreid> Fallback as alternative, semantically feels wrong, providing an alternative feels like a different feature.
14:24:09 <wendyreid> Do we have known cases where people are using fallbacks as alternatives?
14:27:13 <wendyreid> Images in spine, tension of some people wanting this vs the need in the spec for the XHTML
14:30:13 <wendyreid> New ideas for fixed layout and comic rendering, JSON, etc.
14:36:43 <wendyreid> Need further discussion about fallbacks vs alternatives, do we need to explore the difference.
14:36:56 <wendyreid> Do we need to think about new features for a new EPUB vs EPUB3
14:37:36 <wendyreid> [Charles demos a DAISY tool called FIDO]
14:47:33 <CharlesL> Fido's Github Repo: https://github.com/ways2read/fido-ai
