I refer you to the previous issues on this from October:

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2010Oct/0393.html
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2010Oct/0400.html

Note that if you take no action, it seems likely the issue will be closed without prejudice, resulting in no change to the alt-requirements draft. But if you do want to make revisions, see the messages above.

Maciej

The original scope of the issue was about the details of one particular example. This proposal removes all accessibility advice for textual equivalents, and in the course of doing so entirely deletes a WG draft. It is reasonable to propose this, but not as part of this narrow issue. We offer the following options:
