Hi,

this is a call for consensus on the proposal:

THe HTML Accessibility Task Force requests that the HTML and PF Working
Groups jointly publish a Last Call Working Draft of the HTML Image
Description extension, based on the 24 June editor's draft at
https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/html-proposals/raw-file/e2129bb908aa/longdesc1/longde
sc.html

Silence will be taken as assent, but a positive response is preferred.
Please respond to public-html-a11y@w3.org before the call closes at midnight
on Monday 1 July (Hawaii Time zone).

Changes since the Second Public Working Draft of June 6 are editorial in
nature. The most significant ones are identified at
https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/html-proposals/raw-file/e2129bb908aa/longdesc1/longde
sc.html#changes

There is one issue identified in the draft, which is a request for a better
reference for checking accessibility of content. We have already agreed that
if we don't find a more appropriate reference we will simply close the bug
and leave it as is.

In addition, in a late comment on the last draft[1] Peter Gruzca
foreshadowed a potential issue of changing the requirement for making
longdesc discoverable from "should" to "must". In my reply[2], I have
requested that if he wishes to formally propose the issue he does so as a
comment on the Last Call (assuming we reach consensus and the Last Call is
published).
