RE: Call for Consensus (CFC) to move forward the HTML5 Image Description Extension spec for publication (FPWD)

I think we need to resolve the example that conflicts with WCAG ... simply
removing the third example would be sufficient. Then I would support it.

<img src="DecorativeImage" alt="" title="decorative image"
longdesc="http://example.com/descs#item3">

http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/NOTE-WCAG20-TECHS-20120103/F39
"the image has no meaning and should be ignored by assistive technologies."
(Failure 39: WCAG Techniques).

I support putting the document forward for publication as a first public
working draft (FPWD).
