http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=9218 --- Comment #3 from Maciej Stachowiak <mjs@apple.com> 2010-03-23 09:59:34 --- (In reply to comment #2) > I have no idea what this is asking for. Can someone summarise the request in > simple English? What is the problem that the spec doesn't solve? > I think the request is to make sure the validator will report an error if an image does not have alt, and also does not have one of the allowed alternative ways to provide replacement text or express that there isn't any. However, I think the spec already does this. Therefore I suspect this bug should be a WORKSFORME resolution. In email to Laura I said: ---------------------- As far as I can tell, the text here requires validators to report an error if alt is absent and none of the conditions applies: http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#guidance-for-conformance-checkers "A conformance checker must report the lack of an alt attribute as an error unless one of the conditions listed below applies:..." That seems equivalent to me to what is in your Change Proposal. You have a slightly different set of conditions, but I do not see how your set is more programmatically checkable than the one currently in the draft. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
