Very nice Jonathan. We need an exception for spacers and perhaps some pure decorative -- but maybe it is better to have a little decorative described than risk lots of content that is counted as decorative. Also may make testing easier. Perhaps something from a note Mike Barta sent could be used to cover this last point I will post it right behind this.

If the text alternative cannot serve the same fuction or convey the same information, provide a text label or a description.

Yvette's latest draft: <suggestion> For non-text content, provide text alternatives. Whenever possible the text alternative should be equivalent to the non-text content, meaning it serves the same function or conveys the same information as the non-text content. If a text equivalent is not possible due to the nature of the non-text content (for example: music and visual art), provide a text label or a description. </suggestion>
