                                             [snip]

       I'm pleased to learn about your presentation re: beyond HTML.

       I believe you (and other Web4Libers) would be interested in the 
the W3   forthcoming workshop/conference on "Shaping the Future of HTML"
to be held Monday 4th May and Tuesday 5th May 1998 at the 
San Francisco Airport Hyatt Regency, California. The URL for the
program announcement is 
   
        http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/future/

      I believe you will agree that the outline includes quite a bit 
of Deep Thought and Vision!

    I should also note that W3 on its homepage has an announcement on 
MathML, a markup langugae for mathematical symbols at URL:

    http://www.w3.org/Press/1998/MathML-REC

    I believe that the efforts of the Web Accesibility Initiative
will also be of interest to you and attendees to your talk.  For the 
disabled and others is is a milestone effort. A description is 
available at the W3 site or direct at:

   http://www.w3.org/WAI/

    You may be interested in knowing that as part of my review
for my Web site devoted to Auditory Browsing that I plan to 
officially announce on May 1 taht I have identified to key
work that proposes auditory markup tags as an extension of
HTML!

     I look forward to attending  your presentation!
[BTW: I will be giving a presentation and demonstration on
Sunday June 28 as part of the LITA Authority Control in Online
Environments 2-4 PM and will be alluding to some of the W3 
developments]
