More than one person expressed similar sentiments. I think the problem is that the context in which the current draft was written is not the context today (or in a few weeks from now). It's possible that a couple of short notes by a couple of the examples and an additional paragraph explaining the relationship of alt to longdesc 9and, ideally, title, because I know there's some confusion in that area) would satisfy my objection; I can't speak for others. I should add that I've come into this late; I offered to help out with editing not in an attempt to remove you or "take over", and initially declined to be an editor fearing people might get that perception. Rather, I was asked to work on the boilerplate text (which is for the most part changing one line with Respec, as with xmlspec) but in doing so saw a wider context issue that the TF agreed we need to resolve.
