Hi folks, I wanted to point out for the record that the latest version of the InstateLongdesc Change Prroposal effectively includes mandatory, MUST-level conformance criteria for the conformance class "Visual user agents that support the suggested default rendering". Note that this section: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposals/InstateLongdesc#Details Now requires these changes to the Rendering section, which include a number of new "expected" statements: http://www.d.umn.edu/~lcarlson/research/ld-rendering2.html According to the HTML5 spec, implementations meeting the conformance class "Visual user agents that support the suggested default rendering" must implement all "expected" behavior in the Rendering section: http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/single-page.html#conformance-classes Two questions: (1) Is this addition of mandatory UA conformance criteria intentional? I imagine not, since I suspect folks were not aware of that aspect of the "conformance classes" section and I still see claims that this Change Proposal requires zero implementation effort. (2) Are browser vendors willing to implement these requirements? Regards, Maciej
