Re: [office] Table Refresh Delay
Is milliseconds practical? Would a table really update every x milliseconds? I can't imagine network performance making this practical. 

The problem area is >= 3 times per second. This will cause seizures. If the update rate were seconds this is not a problem.

If it were this fast I would do a two pronged approach:

Tell authors to not set this to more than 3 times per second.

I would require that office agents provide a UI feature that allows the user to limit the refresh rate.

I would highly recommend miliseconds but provide best practives to introdue warnings when use would result in seni-optimal UE's.

Sound logical?

Subject: [office] Table Refresh Delay

Can someone from the TC please tell me the units for: <table:refresh-delay> ?

Is this in seconds? This is very important for accessibility as if it is less than a second then there is a potential to cause seizures. 

Whatever the answer, would someone please update the specification to reflect the actual units?

Thank you,

Rich
