Hello Everyone, For the task force's information, I linked Ian's null change proposal [1] for ISSUE-80, title-alternative "Document conformance and device dependent display of title attribute content" [2] to our Accessibility Change Proposal Status page [3]. Full text is below.

RATIONALE There is no problem. Another change proposal suggests disallowing the use of the title="" attribute to provide titles for images, instead requiring the use of separate elements for this purpose. This makes writing accessible pages harder and therefore is likely to have negative effects on the overall accessibility of the Web. DETAILS Change nothing. IMPACT POSITIVE EFFECTS None. NEGATIVE EFFECTS None. CONFORMANCE CLASS CHANGES None. RISKS None. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
