Hi Rich,

Where are you seeing dynamic updates? My impression was that the updates were all from the application pulling data from the server. I don't remember seeing anything in ODF where the document could register for change notifications from the database and thereby get asynchronous updates.

The ODF Accessibility SC would like to know if the ODF TC has considered allowing the author to specify how the office application should respond to dynamic updates resulting to database connections in the document to back end servers:

For example: Will some updates require an alert to the user? should the update scroll to view? Do you want to include meta data for the above to assist the office application in determining rendering of the changed data?

These are issues we addressed when addressed in the accessibility of rich internet applications when adding live region support to WAI-ARIA.
