I do not believe the working group has made a decision on this. Personally I would be extremely strongly opposed to moving the conformance criteria for the alt="" attribute out of the HTML spec. I think your document should have the same normative status as Lachlan's document or Mike's document, that is, an informative addendum to the spec. (There's a big difference between agreeing to publish something and agreeing that it should replace something else. I personally encourage everyone to publish anything they like, even if I disagree with what they are proposing; that does not indicate that I support their proposals.) -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
