The specification for HTML5 would satisfy accessibility requirements by including alt tags for all images, etc. However, I was not aware of any specifications which specify what conforming specifications should specify with regard to accessibility. (They would take the form of something like: "If a specification allows images to be included, it is a conforming specification only if it makes it non-conforming to not provide an alternative textual representation for each image thus included.") -- Andrew Sidwell
