Yes, I understand and agree that images should be paired with words. This is a fundamental concept in transitioning symbol-oriented users of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) to literacy. This isn't really the argument. Even with regard to images maps and buttons, no one has said that text should be avoided. What should be avoided is graphical text. The "arrow button" should NOT have text unless the it is put there by CSS or SVG or redundant text links. "Pop-up" text provided via ALT or TITLE mechanism is fine. Bit-mapped words are NOT acceptable. > -----Original Message----- > From: w3c-wai-gl-request@w3.org [mailto:w3c-wai-gl-request@w3.org] On > Behalf Of Anne Pemberton > Sent: Friday, December 15, 2000 10:08 AM > To: William Loughborough; Wendy A Chisholm; w3c-wai-gl@w3.org > Subject: Re: Errata for WCAG 1.0 checkpoint 3.1 (i.e. the > text in images > issue) > > > What if it does?
