Hi Henri, You wrote to Steve: > I don't see Laura's proposal arising from disbelieving the scenario > due to lack of data. The CP states: "While there may indeed may be authors who irresponsibly choose to enter bogus alternative text, knowingly violating the intended use of alternative text as an accessibility accommodation, this is not a reason to codify their bad practices by removing validation alerts for missing alternative text for content authors who would prefer to do the right thing and provide alternative text for images. Nor is this assertion even evidence-backed. " Best Regards, Laura -- Laura L. Carlson
