Re: Acceptable ALT TEXT test in FAILURE technique: F65

Hi Katie, Hi All,

thank you for this interesting input, as it answers the question, if 
providing aria-label or aria-labelledby is sufficient, which i faced in 
SC1-1-1-img-empty-alt 
<https://www.w3.org/community/auto-wcag/wiki/SC1-1-1-img-empty-alt>. So 
I will add the step for checking the title attribute.
But Wilco is right, we should (at the moment) use a baseline version of 
WCAG, to not get in danger of being outdated.

According to Level of Assistive Technology Support Needed for 
"Accessibility Support" 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/conformance.html#uc-support-level-head> 
it's hard to determine that this techniques are accessibility supported 
and a colleague said that most screen reader-users switch off reading of 
titles. How should we handle this? Add a comment to the assumptions, 
that this should be supported by mainstream AT or is reliable data 
available to provide a clear result.

Best from Wetter
Frank
