Matt, is the text okay in:
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/User:Lcarlson/ImgElement

Should anything be changed?

> We will also need someone to speak on behalf of this request.

As you know, I have to work during the task force weekly
teleconference time, and can not attend the weekly meetings.

Matt, can you speak on behalf of the missing attribute and crowdsourcing idea?

Consensus should not be rushed.  Sometimes, it requires more time to
allow for the creative interplay of ideas. During these times,
patience is more advantageous than urgent or aggressive behavior.

I am please that there is strong support, but the closer we can come
to consensus the better.  Any concerns that are raised, should be
acknowledged and resolved if possible. Matt's voice on the subject
might just address Dave's concern and maybe some of Ian's too. I don't
know.

I'd like to strive to take into account everyone's concerns and try to
resolve them before any decision is made if possible. Most
importantly, I'd like to encourage an environment in which everyone is
respected and all contributions are valued. People feel respected when
everyone listens, when their ideas are taken seriously. Respect for
concerns promotes the kind of environment necessary for developing
consensus. Through consensus, we are not only working to achieve
better solutions, but also to promote the growth of community and
trust.

If adding the missing attribute as an option is just a tweak and
everyone can live with it, I will replace the text in:

with
