[text] [whatwg] was The <pic> element, now about alt text

Hi all,

Just an FYI as I'm not sure how many task force members have been
following the copious  discussions regarding the topic of responsive
images on the WHATWG mailing list*. There have been proposals for
<picture>, @srcset, and now <pic>. Ian added  a new attribute called
"srcset" to the WHATWG HTML spec in May. Today,  David Singer started
a thread [1] regarding  alt text.

Best Regards,
Laura
