RE: 48-Hour Call for Consensus (CfC): Advance Longdesc to CR

It looks good to me. The part about nesting hyperlinks sounded odd to me at first in the intro, but once I got to the syntax, it made more sense.

Subject: 48-Hour Call for Consensus (CfC): Advance Longdesc to CR

Colleagues:

This is a Call for Consensus (CfC) to the Protocols and Formats Working Group
(PFWG) requesting approval to advance the HTML 5 Image Description Extension specification to Candidate Recommendation (CR status. The CR draft is available
at:

https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/html-proposals/raw-file/217e6b995ac9/longdesc1/longdesc.html

A concurrent CfC is ongoing in the HTML-WG.

The HTML-A11Y Task Force has concluded its CfC on this question favorably as documented below and at:

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-pfwg/2014Jul/0052.html

ACTION TO TAKE

According to agreed PFWG Consensus Procedures, this CfC is now open for objection, comment, as well as statements of support via email. Silence will be interpreted as support, though messages of support are certainly welcome.

If you object to this proposed action, or have comments concerning this proposal, please respond by replying on list to this message no later than
12:00 PM (Noon)  Boston Time, Wednesday 30 July--the start of our regular weekly teleconference. A resolution of support will also be considered during our teleconference this coming Wednesday.

Janina
