michael-n-cooper has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/imsc: == APA WG comment: Add note on alt text == With respect to the [7.12.2 altText](https://www.w3.org/TR/2019/WD-ttml-imsc1.2-20191128/#altText) named metadata item, this is directly related to the accessibility requirement of having an alternate text version for images ([Success Criterion 1.1.1 Non-text Content](https://www.w3.org/TR/2018/REC-WCAG21-20180605/#non-text-content)). Could you add a note here saying something like: > Note: > Authors are encouraged to provide text alternatives for every non-decorative image and/or compound image set by using the altText named metadata item. This is necessary for making the image in the document accessible to persons with (visual) disabilities, thus complying with <https://www.w3.org/TR/2018/REC-WCAG21-20180605/#non-text-content> WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.1.1 (Non-text content).
