ISSUE-116: provide reference and info about HTML5: Techniques for providing useful text alternatives in html5 spec [HTML 5 spec] http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/116 Raised by: Steve Faulkner On product: HTML 5 spec I raised the issue as a bug(see below) and asked the editor to respond: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2010Jun/0196.html his response did not answer the request in the bug. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2010Jun/0212.html I have sent two follow ups: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2010Jun/0214.html http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2010Jun/0268.html I do not beleive that it is beyond the editors capacity to respond one or or the other to my request, in a timely fashion. So am escalating this to an issue. provide reference and info about HTML5: Techniques for providing useful text alternatives in html5 spec http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=9845 the working group have agreed to publish HTML5: Techniques for providing useful text alternatives: http://dev.w3.org/html5/alt-techniques/ It contains normative author conformance requirements and informative advice,examples and references which are meant as a replacement for the content in the sections from: 4.8.1.1 Requirements for providing text to act as an alternative for images http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/embedded-content-1.html#alt up to and including 4.8.1.1.12 General guidelines http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/embedded-content-1.html#general-guidelines I think would be prudent and appropriate if both documents (HTML5 and HTML5: alt) provided clear neutral information about the existance of the other and how they relate. For the HTML5 spec I suggest that such information be placed at the start of section '4.8.1.1 Requirements for providing text to act as an alternative for images'
