I would with interest hear more about this. Could you write a mail on what 
this exactly is, and how we need to adapt to it? For example: What standards 
are relevant(links), if and how we need to adapt writing form to it, and a 
detailed discussion on how the content actually will be affected. An 
orientation for those who will work on the HIG.

Cheers,
