Wasn't the purpose of the note to let the TF edit the text? Removing the duplicated text from HTML 5 would seem even better: the HTMl specification is already large, and an explanation about how to use "alt" needs to be able to explain the difference between an alternate representation and an image description, including giving examples with longdesc and aria-described-at as well as described-by. But longdesc isn't part of HTML. An alternative migt be to update the WCAG text to which HTML 5 already points. -- Liam R. E. Quin <liam@w3.org> The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
