Hi Gregg, As a first remark, IMHO this WG shall run away from reinventing the wheel. I think that <http://www.w3.org/TR/di-gloss/> and the HTTP specification shall cover the needs of WCAG. If something is not clear from the DI stuff, then let us ask them, as Johannes did in the past. That said ...

Why should they? They are images with no alternative text or description. Also I am sure you are aware that you can include metadata in several media formats (although I am not so sure whether they have a field for descriptions, nor that UAs can read them). > Hence, as written - the guidelines cannot be met by any site or page that > has an image on it. Sorry, but that line of inference is not true. Guidelines are not met by "sites", they are met by sets of resources (or DUs, or whatever you end up calling them) that you must specify in any conformance claim. Otherwise, you may have to think/reuse a definition of "site" (or "hosts" or "domains") to apply WCAG 2.0 to them. regards, carlos -- Dr Carlos A Velasco - http://access.fit.fraunhofer.de/ Fraunhofer-Institut für Angewandte Informationstechnik FIT [Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Information Technology (FIT)] Barrierefreie Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologie für Alle Schloss Birlinghoven, D53757 Sankt Augustin (Germany) Tel: +49-2241-142609 Fax: +49-2241-1442609
