Hi Ann, Ann said: The HTML WG can't simplify our needs based on whether something like 'longdesc' is or isn't typically used. It is a constraint placed on us by the WAI folks, which means it's a constraint placed on our acceptance of linking solutions. Didier replies: Pardon my ignorance but in which ways the WAI folks impose to the HTML WG to specify the <img> element (as a use case) as Tim mentioned using an Xlink extended link. What are these constraints? Ann said: You don't want HLink? Fix XLink, we'll be happy to use it if we can meet all OUR requirements when doing so, since we can't ignore or drop them at will. Didier replies: Does fixing xlink mean that there are no way to redesign some XHTML elements? In which ways the ones you already redesigned satisfy the WAI criteria? Just curious to know the internal intricacies that lead to this deadlock. Cheers Didier PH Martin
