            Bug ID: 25965
           Summary: Does a TM (trademark), SM (service mark), (R)
                    (registered trademark) symbol in a company's logo need
                    alt text?

Can you please document in the HTML 5 spec if a logo (that happens to have a
(R) registered trademark symbol) must have alt text that indicates that symbol.
(I would also suggest documenting this for TM and SM as well.  

I see that the W3C logo does not have alt text for the (R) symbol.  For example
see: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/CR/embedded-content-0.html

There is a fierce debate about this within an organization I'm working
with...so it sure would be nice to be able to point to the html spec and be
able to resolve this question (without any more debate).

Merci,
Glenda
