Hi John, > why struggling over a word is worth the effort If the word is not "error", there will be no result. Developers pay attention to errors not warnings. But I have already said that in this thread and Cynthia said it in the face to face meeting. If bug 9485 is fixed it would help developers reach the result faster. I hope it is fixed. >> This isn't about making deals. > Sure it is - that's the nature of compromise and consensus Consensus is about being able to "live with" something. Some things can't be lived with. Without both @src and a text alternative the <img> element is broken. Making them both a warning doesn't make sense. Both are needed for an image to be complete. Both are on the same level. Lowering standards for one and not the other is discrimination. I can't live with that. WAI CG's consensus document doesn't live with that. Best Regards, Laura -- Laura L.
