Apologies, please use the following URL

I made a mistake in the update of the HTML5 reference and have fixed accordingly https://github.com/w3c/alt-techniques/commit/54c868254d49bac4ca1efa7d9907cc85bfa0a3cd

Hi all,

in an effort to break the inertia surrounding this document I have created a dated WD snapshot:

http://rawgit.com/w3c/alt-techniques/c56027b5d9125b40695c7fbc128af918515273f7/index.html

It incorporates Janina's requests:

removal of details/summary advice

update reference to pint to HTML /TR

I have added links to outstanding bugs with special reference to those about longdesc.

I also updated one example and closed the related bug [https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=25961], as I consider it wholly uncontroversial and an improvement on the current example.

I consider once this WD is published the group(s) should swiftly appoint new editor(s). I would suggest that any editors appointed have a good working knowledge of alt techniques.

It is my understanding that both Shane McCarron and David McDonald have volunteered and I personally have confidence that both of them working as a team would serve as excellent replacements.
