"needsLongdesc" and "needsAlt" could be part of an ADL >module, Or, instead of having "needsAlt" as part of earl, we'd just have needsAttribute and then let the HTML 4.01 spec be the reference documentation for the attribute names, e.g. :x earl:needsAttribute html:alt . where the html: namespace is defined by http://www.w3.org/TR/html4 or (dropping name spaces for a moment) :x :needs :y . :y :type :attribute :y :name :alt .
