Status: SDA -> HTML 2.0 for ICADD

Below are the SGML Document Access (SDA) #FIXED attributes that will be added
to HTML 2.0 in support of easy transformation to ICADD for print-impaired
access using Braille, large print and voice synthesis.

Thanks to all of the attendees at the SGML '94 BoF that helped put this
together! It was a great mix of people from the SGML, HTML and
print-impaired communities. There are only a few minor changes from the notes
I took at the BoF, most having to do with mapping EMPTY elements.

What's next:

- please review and comment, all input is welcome
- I will run test transformations from HTML 2.0 -> ICADD
- we will formally submit these to the HTML 2.0 editor
- time is *very* short, please respond if possible in the next few days

Once HTML 2.0 is an RFC, several Internet sites have expressed interest in
providing URLs to batch scripts for:

HTML 2.0 -> ICADD
ICADD -> Braille
ICADD -> voice
ICADD -> ASCII/large print

Thanks to all,

HTML 2.0 contains SGML Document Access (SDA) fixed attributes in support
of easy transformation to the International Committee for Accessible
Document Design (ICADD) DTD "-//EC-USA-CDA-ICADD//DTD ICADD22//EN//1.1".
ICADD applications are designed to support usable access to structured
information by print-impaired individuals through Braille, large print
and voice synthesis. For more information on SDA & ICADD:
