I need to understand what the "intent" of the TITLE element description is first before I'd make that leap. However, I think what we're proposing is a tiered description level: TITLE - ALT - longdesc While we're at it, can someone please explain to me why the syntax for the OBJECT tag that includes an image, specifies the ALT text of that image without the ALT attribute? (Or at least, that's how the 4.0 spec describes it). Seems to be an inconsistent use of syntax. - Mike At 06:27 PM 3/27/98 -0500, Liam Quinn wrote: >At 06:18 PM 27/03/98 -0500, Mike Paciello wrote: >>True, but most of this is contextual in nature.
