I tried to add this to the "Outcomes of Creating a Missing Attribute" section: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/User:Lcarlson/ImgElement#Outcomes_of_Creating_a_Missing_Attribute Any ideas for improvement? It is also to be noted that the missing attribute is optional in this Change Proposal. WAI CG said that they would not oppose it. Check the "Addressing Business Needs" section: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/User:Lcarlson/ImgElement#Addressing_Business_Needs Thanks. Best Regards, Laura -- Laura L. Carlson
