Proposed deadlines on HTML issues

The HTML WG chairs have asked for deadlines by which the HTML
Accessibility Task force will provide formal answers of some sort on the
following specific issues. The facilitators promised to submit deadlines
by 29 April 2010. Please review the proposed deadlines below and let us
know any seem problematic. Note that we will be held to these deadlines
and the issues will be closed without prejudice if we do not deliver by
the deadline, so they are serious dates. We need to deliver task force
decisions in a timely manner that is still reasonable for the task force.

    * ISSUE-30 longdesc TO BE DELIVERED 22 April
    * ISSUE-31 missing-alt DEADLINE 29 April
    * ISSUE-66 image-analysis TO BE DELIVERED 22 April
    * ISSUE-80 title TO BE DELIVERED 22 April
    * ISSUE-74 canvas-accessibility DEADLINE 20 May
    * ISSUE-105 canvas-usemap DEADLINE 20 May
    * ISSUE-85 anchor-roles DEADLINE TBD - need to coordinate with ARIA
      integration group
    * ISSUE-9 video-accessibility DEADLINE TBD - need to coordinate with
      media group

Note the last two items we propose to ask the HTML chairs for an
extension on the promised date of 29 April for producing these
deadlines. They require further coordination with subgroups. We will
need to offer these deadlines in the near future, however.
