I do think that it is formally unrelated to HTML 5 unless a DOM API is involved. Yesterday we discussed the <video> attribute, when the possiliy rich accessibility features of the video itself was used as an argument for saying that "the video itself is enough - no further fallback is needed". Hence, it seems valid to also include the accessibilitiy one can "fetch" from the photo itself when discussing the requirements of @alt text and so on and so forth. -- leif halvard silli
