While everyone can probably agree that alternative content is a good idea when feasible, when considering what people are using the canvas for, which seems to fit the examples provided in the first paragraph well, the wording "they must" doesn't make any sense to me. How on earth do you expect authors to provide alternative content for a game or a complex visualization? I suggest either softening the first sentence up or just whacking it entirely. Otherwise thanks for a nice and clear spec. :) Posted from: 77.243.62.134 User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; da-DK; rv:1.9.2.15) Gecko/20110303 Ubuntu/10.10 (maverick) Firefox/3.6.15 -- 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.
