Generally, on issues such as these, first hand statements from generator developers will be given more weight than forensic analysis of documents, which in term will be given more weight than assertions made without evidence. We currently have three proposals listed: http://dev.w3.org/html5/status/issue-status.html#ISSUE-206 Which, if any, of these would be something your tools for PDF->HTML would be willing to implement? Are there any reasons why one would be better than the other? Would you rather propose something else? > FWIW - PDF/UA, the "accessibility standard for PDF", would fail empty > alt text. Would any of the existing proposals fix that? Should PDF/UA be changed? If so, how? > Leonard - Sam Ruby
