================================
Response from the Working Group
================================
Thank you for your comment. We have revised the example as follows:

Example 2e clarifies how the user agent determines the name if the
author specifies both the 'alt' and 'title' attributes of the input
element. In this case, the user agent uses the 'alt' attribute
("Save") and ignores the 'title' attribute.

Example Code:

<input type="image" src="save.gif" alt="save" title="save the file" />
