Note I am > not sure what point comment 13 is making; there will always be examples of bad > alt text out there. My point is that poster frame may not be representative of the video. That's not merely problem of bad alt, but bad poster frames to begin with. Poster frame is not original content, it is just placeholder for unloaded video. Because in practice poster frames are often automatically selected (e.g. first or middle frame of the video) they are often poor representation of video as a whole. A poster frame for video of "Sally Smith crossing the finish line" might as well happen to be "A reporter standing with microphone in front of a crowd". A use case of "user with no or poor vision wanting to know what video is about and what mood it has" might not be served by poster description as well as by description of the video as a whole. -- 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.
