Re: FW: ISSUE-122 (shalott-example) - Expanded scope and Call for Counter-Proposals

aloha, paul!

what we need for disposition of issue 180 is to remove the lady of 
shallott example out from:

http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/embedded-content-1.html#the-img-element

which directly follows the following prose:

QUOTE 
Examples where the image is purely decorative despite being relevant 
would include things like a photo of the Black Rock City landscape in 
a blog post about an event at Burning Man, or an image of a painting 
inspired by a poem, on a page reciting that poem. The following snippet
shows an example of the latter case:
UNQUOTE

steps:

1. remove the phrase "or an image of a painting inspired by a poem, on 
a page reciting that poem"

2. replace the current (lady of shallott) example with an code sample
illustrating one of the other prose examples that hixie cites in the
paragraph introducing the example, such as a blog of Black Rock City
that uses a picture of the city's skyline as a purely decorative 
element of a blog
