Hi Carlos, It seems to me you and Gregg agree! A standalone image does not conform to WCAG because it should only be considered in context (with HTML that includes alt, longdesc, etc). The problem is that an Image meets the current definition of Delivery Unit. Gregg was merely pointing out the problem with that: that images are now required to conform by themselves. Because that was never intended, Gregg and others have been trying to find a better term so it is clear standalone image don't need to conform but only in context.
