Hello Everyone, I've drafted a Change Proposal for when ISSUE 30 is reopened. It is a combination of what Gregory and I wrote for the Verbose Descriptor Requirements doc [1]; what Chaals wrote for his change proposal [2]; and what I have written and complied in the longdesc research page [3]. The Change Proposal to reinstate longdesc is at: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposals/InstateLongdesc Ideas for improvement would be appreciated. Janina, do you intend to write the request to have Issue 30 reopened? If not I can write something simple like Steve wrote to reopen Issue 133, maybe like: <draft> Dear Chairs, Please consider re-opening issue 30. New information has been gathered and a change proposal has been developed. http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposals/InstateLongdesc <end draft> Thanks. Best Regards, Laura [1] http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Verbose_desc_reqs [2] http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposals/longdesc [3] http://www.d.umn.edu/~lcarlson/research/ld.html -- Laura L.
