Smallest font ever :-D

For those interested in the changes:

    * minor editorial changes - references, etc., cleaned up, obvious
      mistakes corrected
    * clarifications on many features, e.g., bi-directional text,
      various minor features
    * "writing mode" attribute added for bi-di text
    * RNG schemas corrected
    * URIs replaced with more international-friendly IRIs
    * accessibility improved by the additions of:
          o "soft" page breaks (applications record how they paginate a
            document)
          o alternative text for images, hyperlinks, etc.
          o navigation order added to presentation slides
          o new guidelines on accessibility

That's not the entirety of it, but it's basically the headlines - 1.1 
isn't a huge step forward; 1.2 is where more "major" work will happen.

Cheers,

Alex.
