    [Katy Moe, a11y] Hey all! I have a question about how W3C specs work. Is it right to say that a spec has to be implemented in a certain number of browsers before being able to advance to the Proposed/W3C Recommendation stages?

    [Thomas Logan, a11y] Why do you think technology platforms have built digital assistants that don’t integrate with their platforms? Here’s a video I put together about how you can expand Cortana with Windows Speech Recognition - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuiKfUgEvfo

    I have a question about how W3C specs work. Is it right to say that a spec has to be implemented in a certain number of browsers before being able to advance to the Proposed/W3C Recommendation stages?

    Yes, is supposed to be the case, for example here are the tests i conducted to support the acc mappings section of HTML5 being included in the HTML5 rec http://stevefaulkner.github.io/html-mapping-tests/

    For this specification to be advanced to Proposed Recommendation, there must be at least two independent, interoperable implementations of each feature. Each feature may be implemented by a different set of products, there is no requirement that all features be implemented by a single product.
