Re: A11Y-Related Change Proposals that need revision

Hi Maciej, will update the rationales by mid next week.

The doc
HTML5: Techniques for the provision of text alternatives
http://www.paciellogroup.com/blog/misc/HTML5/new/img-new.html
(associated with 1. split out and modify parts of Section 4.8.2.1 the img
element Change Proposal
http://esw.w3.org/topic/HTML/ChangeProposals/ImgElement20091209 ) is a work
in progress, I would like to get it to a point that it is ready for FWPD,
but am unsure of what the requirements are.
