Hi Matt, Thanks for the clarification. > I said I thought an attribute like @missing is a valuable semantic for > techniques like crowdsourcing to build upon.

The important thing is that a hook would be there. > I do _not_ think, and AFAIK have never expressed, that a reference to > crowdsourcing should be in the spec.

The alternate proposal says possibilities for crowdsourcing exist and then lists the ID and rel attribute for the <link> that you had mentioned in the WAI CG alt discussion. Maybe I shouldn't have included that? Best Regards, Laura -- Laura L. Carlson
