Re: missing attribute/crowdsourcing (was Re: Discussion: Text Alternative Survey)

I think what's on the wiki is as much detail as needs to be provided. I can't add anything to the discussion until someone explains why it was removed. If the answer is that authors are expected to provide @alt or an equivalent or else it's not valid, I guess that's one way to solve it, but I don't think that will be seen in a positive light by the broader WG. More than one person (including the editor) has complained that they can generate images for which they cannot also reliably generate @alt, and I expect that they will want that to be recognized as a common scenario.

Matt could you please explain more about the idea. If "missing" is to
go back in, we should have more details regarding it.
