Re: Contributions to HTML5: Techniques for providing useful text alternatives

In response to your comments, I have opened up the following bug reports:

  http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12873
  http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12874
  http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12875
  http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12876
  http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=12877

You can add yourself to the CC Lists for those bugs -- which will require
that you create a W3C Bugzilla user account (if you don't have one
already):
