Hi Maciej, > Is this Change Proposal an alternative to the two submitted by Steve > Faulkner, or is it meant to supersede them? This change proposal is about replacing img guidance for conformance checkers. This change proposal is a superset of Steve's first change proposal [1]. This change proposal encompasses all of WAI CG's recommendations on the matter. Whereas, Steve's first proposal concentrates on role="presentation", aria-labelledby, and title. This change proposal is a different matter than Steve's second proposal [2]. That one splits out examples into their own "Best Practices" document for a First Published Working Draft. I support both of Steve's proposals. He suggested my proposal be a separate proposal than his.
