Hi John, I don't understand your objection to aria-label. You write: "Unlike other methods of supplying a short label to the media elements (for example aria-label), using @alt will (MUST) render text on screen when images are turned off or disabled." Nothing in the definition of aria-label [1] excludes the aria-label text from being rendered as replacement text for video or audio. Do you have evidence of such happening? Thanks, Silvia.
