Thanks to Steve F for all the meaningful work that went into this and its
inclusion in HTML5.

  Colleagues:

  This time with the correct pointer. Sorry, everyone; and thanks, John!

  This is a Call for Consensus (CfC) to the HTML-A11Y Task Force to
  publish the revised "Techniques for providing useful text alternatives"
  as a W3C note.

  The candidate document is available at:

  http://www.w3.org/2015/03/alt-draft.html

  As discussed over several recent Task Force teleconferences, this CfC
  would effectively publish only a stub document inasmuch as the content
  formerly provided by this document has been subsumed by the HTML 5.0
  specification itself.

  ACTION TO TAKE

  According to agreed Procedures, this CfC is now open for objection,
  comment, as well as statements of support via email. Silence will be
  interpreted as support, though messages of support are certainly
  welcome.

  If you object to this proposed action, or have comments concerning this
  proposal, please respond by replying on list to this message no later
  than 23:59 (Midnight) Boston Time on Thursday 16 April..

  Janina Sajka, For the Task Force Co-Facilitators
