Dear Colleagues: Attached herewith, at long last, is a report we've titled: "WAI CG Consensus Resolutions on Text alternatives in HTML 5." It is the result of many long teleconferences and draft documents produced by members of several WAI Working Groups--and accepted as a consensus position by the WAI-CG itself. We regret that our process took so long, but we did do our best to be comprehensive. We believe we've addressed all of the major concerns and requirements that have been expressed on behalf of @alt. We hope this report can now serve as a useful basis for wider consideration, especially with the HTML WG. This document is also available at the following URI; http://www.w3.org/2009/06/Text-Alternatives-in-HTML5 We look forward to working with you to make HTML 5 the best accessibility solution yet.
