Hi Thierry - we discussed this in APA Wednesday and confirm we have no substantive comments on the spec. However, we did a quick accessibility check and found a diagram with a super-long alt text. We appreciate the effort but long alt text can be hard to use; it would be better to have a short alt text and put the longer content into a description (multiple approaches are available to do that). Janina is meant to write up a more concrete suggestion around that for you.
