For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: Just put the description in the embed. There's no reason this has to be complicated. The issue relating to the poster hasn't been documented. Or at least, I've never seen any compelling description of why anyone would care. It's like asking for a description of an icon instead of asking what the icon means. The only times I've seen anyone asking for this is when misguided accessibility advocates have suggested it, in what I can only assume is a cargo-cult approach to making the Web accessible to people who can't see everything. -- Configure bugmail: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
