Okay, it's a fair point that many poster frames may be added automatically and so the presence of an explicit poster attribute does not directly imply that it's been chosen by the author. However, that's no reason to not have an ability to supply alternative text for it. That's a bit like saying that images shouldn't have an alt attribute because some images may be server generated. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
