Hi sam, since the working group have agreed to publish HTML5: Techniques for providing useful text alternatives: http://dev.w3.org/html5/alt-techniques/ It contains normative author conformance requirements and informative advice,examples and references which are meant as a replacement for the content in the sections from: 4.8.1.1 Requirements for providing text to act as an alternative for images http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/embedded-content-1.html#alt up to and including 4.8.1.1.12 General guidelines http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/embedded-content-1.html#general-guidelines I think would be prudent and appropriate if both documents (HTML5 and HTML5: alt) provided clear neutral information about the existance of the other and how they relate. For the HTML5 spec I suggest that such information be placed at the start of section '4.8.1.1 Requirements for providing text to act as an alternative for images' and for the alt spec, in the status section. regards Stevef On 2 June 2010 17:44, Sam Ruby <rubys@intertwingly.net> wrote: > This call passes.
