I'd like to volunteer to write a no change proposal for this issue. I've discussed briefly with Jonas and we may merge together whatever we come up with. I could possibly also write a change proposal to make the case for changing the message displayed by the validator for longdesc from error to warning, like Maciej's previous CP: http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposals/LongdescConformingWithWarning As I understand it, this option would only require moving longdesc from the obsolete list to the obsolete but conforming list in the current draft: http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/obsolete.html and updating the validator accordingly. This option would presumably satisfy PFWG's concerns. Maciej's proposal did not get much support in the group last time, so I don't want to spend time on it if that's still the case. Is there any support for making longdesc obsolete but conforming? Could the members of this working group and PFWG live with closing this issue by amicable consensus if we make longdesc obsolete but conforming? -Matt
