Hi Jonas, >> The change directly implements half of Jonas' longdesc proposal. > That seems like a terrible reason to request a change to be reverted. The editor and you circumvented the working group and decided to implement a material change from a proposal for an open accessibility issue. This is unconscionable. The chairs stated in their "Enhanced change control after the Last Call cutoff." message , "Based on past experience, it seems likely that changes to accessibility topics already covered by issues are likely to be controversial. Editors may want to tread carefully in that area until the issues are resolved". [1] Issue 30 is a very, very, controversial subject. Bypassing due process is unfair. > is it good for the web and is it good for accessibility. That has yet to be determined. I have my own rationale for why it is not good for accessibility and will submit it in the objection poll for Issue 30. It is unproductive to go down your rat hole here.
