Hi Maciej, > First, let me note that this set of questions is in no way official or > endorsed by the chairs. True. I raised issue 31. Steve, Josh, and I worked on it from before there was a tracker. It is a big issue. Its scope covers alt in the <img> design space. I wrote that Wiki page to help people understand the three parts of the issue. > The text of ISSUE-31 itself is about > machine-checkable authoring conformance criteria: > <http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/31>. It does not say anything > about examples. Ian's (proposal 1) and Steve's (proposal 8) and mine (proposal 9) all address the question, "Where/who will define requirements on the possible values of alt attribute." > However, since the chairs have not yet made an official ruling on whether > this question is in scope... Okay. > Does your ISSUE-122 Change Proposal take a distinct position on this > question from any of the existing proposals? From the chart you link, it > seems to match Proposal 9. I think adding more redundant proposals to > ISSUE-31 is not helpful at this stage. It is Proposal 9. > The original definition of the issue only appears to cover the first of these questions, not 2 and 3: Note: Action 54: Third Draft bound to issue 31, August 2008 "The accessibility requirements on the possible values of the alt attributes are defined by WCAG 2.0 and not HTML 5.
