This is not so for the title attribute content. therefore it is not suitable as currently implemented in browsers to be considered and alternative for alt text as it is not displayed when images are unavailable. therefore recommend removing this "The title attribute is present and has a non-empty value." from http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/embedded-content-0.html -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
