HTML5: Techniques for providing useful text alternatives http://dev.w3.org/html5/alt-techniques/ This document is a work in progress currently edited by me, I encourage anyone with an interest to contribute to its development. Document aims: * Provide clear and practical advice on how to provide appropriate text alternatives for images using currently supported techniques * How to make use of the new features available in HTML5 and WAI-ARIA for providing text alternatives. * Understanding the advantages and disadvantages of each technique in reference to browser and assistive technology support. * Provide normative rules for each technique in regards to whether its correct use results in a conforming HTML5 document. * Harmonization of HTML5 document conformance in regards to image text alternatives with WCAG 2.0. The document has been put forward as a First Public Working Draft in the W3C HTML WG, it is expected this initial publication will occur next month.
