Another important area is rich media and interactivity. There's always been ways to extend EPUB to embed videos, audio, Flash or HTML5, but if you're doing that in the current standard, you tend to know that a particular reading system does its extensions one way and you code to that particular reading system, which doesn't serve the broad swath of content consumers very well. So we want to come up with standard cross-reading systems and mechanisms to bake in rich media and interactivity. That will likely be focused around HTML5, looking at enhanced metadata, particularly magazine and newspaper prism feeds, and also looking at how we might do closer integration with ONYX and the metadata space.
