Re: [Bug 12587] AT shouldn't see img@alt="" and img@role=presentation as 100% synonyms

Hi Leif,

we will certainly consider this in light of your bug details, but I would
suggest that the first place to raise this as a bug is the html5 spec as
that is where the mapping between alt and role=presentation is *normatively
defined*.
