Hello everyone, The latest longdesc spec text is at: http://www.d.umn.edu/~lcarlson/research/ld-spec-text2.html Many thanks to Benjamin for this. Does anyone have suggestions to improve that spec text verbiage? I am wondering if we should add the words "in a device independent manner" to the end of the sentence "User agents should allow users to access long text alternatives." Thoughts? Last weekend I worked on User Agent rendering longdesc spec text based on text Benjamin supplied. That draft is at: http://www.d.umn.edu/~lcarlson/research/ld-rendering.html Does anyone have suggestions to improve it? Ideas for improving verbiage, images, or the longdescs on the images themselves are all welcome. Chaals, the first example is based on tellmemore. Is it okay? Janina, in January you said that you would like to work with me on perfecting the longdesc change proposal. http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposals/InstateLongdesc That would be greatly appreciated. Some of us have been working very hard on it. But I am awaiting your input. I did insert a section for figcaption as I didn't receive any text from you. http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposals/InstateLongdesc#figcaption_element Is that section okay? We have worked on the use cases, collaborating with Geoff on writing the etext use cases and Leif on a newspaper/lightbox use case. Chaals, John, Leif, and quite a few others helped with the earlier ones. Many thanks to the many task force members who have reviewed the proposal and offered concrete suggestions to improve it. Does anyone have further specific suggestions? It would be good to streamline the document, perfect the verbiage, and especially get the spec text settled. Thank you all very much. Best regards, Laura -- Laura L. Carlson
