This makes it clearer for the reader that we are talking about content that may actually be used when the image is displayed (and not only as a fallback when the image can't be displayed). To avoid endless discussions of the content aqctally being equivalent, a note could be added to the spec clarifying that the contetnt should "strive to be equivalent" or so. The question of a container for this type of content needs to be resolved though. So far I have seen two suggestions: 1. Keeping the equivalent content inside the container itself (i.e. inside image, picture, object etc) 2. Keeping the content in a separate container which, I guess, could be placed somewhere else with an appropriate connection between the two. Some questions: For #1, should there be a UA feature that displays the equivalent content? If so, what would be the recommended way of doing so? What type of elements are allowed in the euquivalent content? image? video? Regards, Peter Krantz
