  64     <p>I'd like to do tables like this using nothing for No and ✔ for Yes, but
  65     we need to look at the accessibility impact.  I've
  66     <link href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-doc-list/2009-September/msg00006.html">asked
  67     the accessibility team</link> for input.</p>

  72     <p>There's recent work on telepathy-butterfly and papyon to support
  73     audio and video for MSN.  It might be released in time for 2.28, but
  74     since it doesn't follow the Gnome release schedule, I can't be sure.
  75     If it looks like it's going to ship, let's mark it Yes.</p>
