Re: Status on reopening longdesc Issue 30 (was Re: longdesc use cases)

Hello Everyone,

I've drafted a Change Proposal for when ISSUE 30 is reopened. It is a
combination of what Gregory and I wrote for the Verbose Descriptor
Requirements doc [1]; what Chaals wrote for his change proposal [2];
and what I have written and complied in the longdesc research page
[3].

The Change Proposal to reinstate longdesc is at:
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposals/InstateLongdesc

Ideas for improvement would be appreciated.

Janina, do you intend to write the request to have Issue 30 reopened?
If not I can write something simple like Steve wrote to reopen Issue
133, maybe like:

<draft>

Dear Chairs,

Please consider re-opening issue 30. New information has been gathered
and a change proposal has been developed.
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposals/InstateLongdesc

<end draft>

Thanks.

Best Regards,
Laura
